Discrete Serial ATA Interface
1.6.1
Serial ATA Controller
As a manufacturing option, the board provides a Marvell 88SE6145 Serial ATA (SATA)
controller and four connectors (that support one device per connector) for SATA
devices.
These connectors are in addition to the four SATA connectors of the ICH7-R
SATA interface.
The Marvell 88SE6145 controller uses the PCI bus for data transfer with a theoretical
maximum transfer rate of 3 Gbits/sec per port.
The discrete SATA interface supports
the following RAID levels:
•
RAID 0
•
RAID 1
±
NOTE
The Marvell 88SE6145 controller supports single drive non-RAID configurations as well
as RAID configurations.
