Serial ATA II Connector: SATA1, SATA2
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA II interface port. Each connector can
connect to one Serial ATA II device.
Important
Please do not fold the SATA/SAS cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data
loss may occur during transmission.
Serial Attached SCSI Connector: MINISAS1
The SAS connector is a new generation serial communication protocol for de-
vices designed to allow for much higher speed data transfers. It supports data
transfer speeds up to 3 Gbit/s. SAS uses serial communication instead of the par-
allel method found in traditional SCSI devices but still uses SCSI commands for
interacting with SAS devices. Each SAS connector can connect to 1 disk drive.
