2-26 Chapter 2: Hardware information
6. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2)
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables
for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to
150MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with
133MB/s (Ultra ATA/133).
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives and Windows ® XP operating
system, you can create a RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration using the
Adaptec HostRAID technology embedded in the Intel
® 6300ESB.
Important notes on Serial ATA
• In a legacy operating system (DOS) environment, using the Serial
ATA connectors will disable the Southbridge support to one of the
IDE channels (either primary or secondary channel).
• The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0 and RAID 1) is only available
under Windows
® XP.
