7) SATA3_0/1/2/3/4/5 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by AMD SB850 South Bridge)
The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA
1.5Gb/s standards. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The AMD SB850 south bridge
supports RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and JBOD. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard
Drive(s)," for instructions on configuring a RAID array.
• A RAID 0 or RAID 1 configuration requires at least two hard drives. If more than two hard
drives are to be used, the total number of hard drives must be an even number.
• A RAID 5 configuration requires at least three hard drives. (The total number of hard drives
does not have to be an even number.)
• A RAID 10 configuration requires four hard drives.
