following:
•
Provide four or eight internal SATA ports
•
Support the Serial ATA 1.0 and Serial ATA II: Extensions to Serial
ATA 1.0 specifications:
– Provide a 150 Mbytes/s and 300 Mbytes/s data transfer rate
– Use a low-cost, small 7-pin connector with thin, flexible cables
(SATA 300-8X)
– Use a 26-circuit, high-speed iPASS connector (SATA 300-4XLP
and SATA 300-8XLP)
