3. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2)
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables
for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to
150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with
133 MB/s (Ultra ATA/133).
If you installed Serial ATA hard disks, you may create a RAID 0
configuration using the RAID feature of the Intel ICH5R chipset. See
section “5.4 Intel RAID for Serial ATA” for information on creating a
RAID.

Important notes on Serial ATA
1. In a legacy operating system (DOS, Windows 98, Windows Me,
Windows NT) environment, using the Serial ATA connectors will
disable the ICHR chipset support to one of the IDE channels
(either primary or secondary channel).
2. The Serial ATA RAID feature (RAID 0) is available only if you are
using Windows XP.
