4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4)

These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3.0

Gb/s hard disk and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3 Gb/s is backward

compatible with Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s specication.

The current Serial ATA I interface allows up to 150 MB/s data transfer rate

while Serial ATA II allows up to 300 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the

standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).

If you install Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0 and RAID 1

conguration through the onboard NVIDIA

MediaShield™ controller.
