ASUS TS300-E9-PS4

4-15

4.4.3 

Internal connectors

1. 

 Serial ATA 6.0 Gbps connectors (7-pin SATA 6 Gbps_5-6 connector [Gray], 7-8 
connector [Light Blue])

Supported by the Intel

®

 C236 chipset, these connectors are for the Serial ATA signal 

cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives that allows up to 6Gb/s of data transfer rate.
If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, 

or RAID 5 configuration.

2. 

Mini-SAS HD connector (SATA1234)

This motherboard comes with a mini Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) HD connector, 

the storage technology that supports Serial ATA. The connector supports up to four 

devices.

• 

The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of Serial ATA hard disks installed.

• 

When the M.2 connector is operating in SATA mode, SATA connector 5 and 6 

 

(SATA 6 Gbps_5-6) will be disabled.
