Supported by the NVIDIA ® nForce™4 SLI chipset, these connectors are
for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives that
allow up to 3Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0,
RAID 1, or RAID 1+0 configuration that span across the Parallel ATA
drives.
The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard
disks installed.
These connectors are set to S A T A S A T A S A T A S A T A S A T A by default. In SATA mode, you can
connect Serial ATA boot or data hard disk drives to these connectors. If
you intend to create a Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors,
enable the RAID function of each port from the N V R A I D
