2.7.2 Internal connectors 1. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1-2 [Lght blue], SATA3-4 [Black]) These connectors, controlled by Intel® C602 chipset, are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives. The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard disks installed. 2. ISAS connectors (7-pin ISAS1-4 [Gray]) Supported by the Intel® ASRK module(optional), these connectors are for the SAS signal cables for SAS hard disk drives that allows up to 3Gb/s of data transfer rate. If you installed SAS hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 5 configuration. The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of SAS hard disks installed. 2-26 Chapter 2: Hardware information
