The first digit in the Location field defines the adapter that the port is associated with. The 2nd digit defines the channel. Adapter 0.1 Channel In the example above, 0.1 means the hard drive is attached to Adapter 0, Channel 1. The following is a reference list of some possible combinations: Serial ATA 0.0 Adapter 0, Channel 0 (SATA1) 0.1 Adapter 0, Channel 1 (SATA2) 0.2 Adapter 0, Channel 3 (SATA3) 0.3 Adapter 0, Channel 4 (SATA4) ... ...

The SATA ports are called channels and they are assoc±ated w±th adapters. The first
d±g±t ±n the Locat±on field defines the adapter that the port ±s assoc±ated w±th. The 2nd
d±g±t defines the channel.
Adapter
0.1
Channel
In the example above, 0.1 means the hard dr±ve ±s attached to Adapter 0,
Channel 1.
The follow±ng ±s a reference l±st of some poss±ble comb±nat±ons:
Ser±al ATA
0.0
Adapter 0, Channel 0 (SATA1)
0.1
Adapter 0, Channel 1 (SATA2)
0.2
Adapter 0, Channel 3 (SATA3)
0.3
Adapter 0, Channel 4 (SATA4)
...
...
Important
There ±s no such th±ng as Slave dr±ve ±n Ser±al ATA. All dr±ves are cons±dered to be Mas-
ter s±nce there ±s a one to one connect±on between the dr±ve and the controller.
