• If you want to do the task as GHOST, we suggest you connect the original disk to the

SATA5 or SATA6

Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2, SATA3, SATA4, SATA5, SATA6)
These connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA 3Gb/s hard disk

and optical disk drives. The Serial ATA 3Gb/s is backward compatible with Serial ATA

1.5Gb/s specification. The data transfer rate of the Serial ATA 3Gb/s is faster than the

standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s (Ultra DMA133).

Install the Windows

XP Service Pack 2 or later version before using Serial ATA.

LPT connector
The LPT (Line Printing Terminal) connector supports devices such as a printer. LPT

standardizes as IEEE 1284, which is the parallel port interface on IBM PC-compatible

computers.
