drives and optical disc drives.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5,
or RAID 10 configuration through the onboard AMD ® SB850 controller.

Serial ATA RAID set using these connectors, set the type of the SATA connectors to
[RAID] in the BIOS. See section 3.4.2 SATA Configuration for details.
