Serial ATA II Connector: SATA1, SATA2

This connector is a high-speed Serial ATA II interface port. Each connector can 

connect to one Serial ATA II device.

Important

Please do not fold the SATA/SAS cable into 90-degree angle. Otherwise, data 

loss may occur during transmission.

Serial Attached SCSI Connector: MINISAS1

The SAS connector is a new generation serial communication protocol for de

-

vices 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 par

-

allel 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.
