8)  SATA2_2/3/4/5 (SATA 3Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by P67 Chipset)

The SATA connectors conform to SATA 3Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s stan-
dard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The P67 controller supports RAID 0,  

RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10. 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.

7)  SATA3_0/1 (SATA 6Gb/s Connectors, Controlled by P67 Chipset)

The SATA connectors conform to SATA 6Gb/s standard and are compatible with SATA 3Gb/s and SATA 
1.5Gb/s standard. Each SATA connector supports a single SATA device. The SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 

connectors support RAID 0 and RAID 1. RAID 5 and RAID 10 can be implemented on the two connec-

tors with the SATA2_2/3/4/5 connector 

(Note)

. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring SATA Hard Drive(s)," for

instructions on configuring a RAID array.

(Note)  When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system 

performance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.

Please connect the L-shaped end of 

the SATA cable to your SATA hard 

drive.
