1. Serial ATA connectors (P8B-M)
(SATA 6Gb/s: 7-pin SATA1, SATA2 [Blue])
(SATA 3Gb/s: 7-pin SATA3, SATA4, SATA5, SATA6 [Black])
Serial ATA connectors (P8B-MX)
(SATA 3Gb/s: 7-pin SATA1-6 [Black])
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk
drives that allow 6Gb/s and/or 3 Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1,
RAID 10, or RAID 5 conguration.
The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard disks
installed.
