Important
Please do not fold the SATA/SAS accessory cable into 90-degree angle.
Otherwise, data loss may occur during transmission.
Serial Attached SCSI Connector: SAS_1 ~ SAS_4
The SAS connector is a new generation serial communication protocol for devices
designed to allow for much higher speed data transfers. It supports data transfer
speeds up to 3 Gbit/s. SAS uses serial communication instead of the parallel method
found in traditional SCSI devices but still uses SCSI commands for interacting with
SAS devices. Each SAS connector can connect to 1 disk drive.
Serial ATA Connector: SATA1 ~ SATA6
This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA interface port. Each connector can con-
nect to one Serial ATA device.
