Page 25 highlights

Connecting Serial ATA Cables The Serial ATA II connector is used to connect the Serial ATA II device to the motherboard. These connectors support the thin Serial ATA II cables for primary storage devices. The current Serial ATA II interface allows up to 300MB/s data transfer rate. There are nine (9) internal serial ATA connectors and one (1) e-SATA on this motherboard. Connection points SATA0 - SATA5, are controlled by the South Bridge Chipset. Connection points SATA8 - SATA9, are controlled by the JMicron JMB363 chip. These connection points support RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 0+1 and JBOD configurations. SATA6 and SATA7 are controlled by the JMicron JMB362 chip.

Bridge Chipset.
Connection points SATA8 - SATA9, are controlled by the
JMicron JMB36

chip.
These connection points support RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 5, RAID 0+1 and JBOD configurations. SATA6 and SATA7 are
controlled by the JMicron JMB36
