4. Serial ATA connectors (7-pin SATA1, SATA2)
These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables for
primaryinternal storage devices. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to 150
MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with 133 MB/s
(UltraATA133).
•
Pin 20 on each IDE connector is removed to match the covered hole on the
UltraATA cable connector. This prevents incorrect orientation when you
connect the cables.
•
For UltraATA133 IDE devices, use an 80-conductor IDE cable. The UltraATA
cable included in the motherboard package also supports UltraATA133 or
UltraATA100.
•
The hole near the blue connector on the UltraATA133 cable is intentional.
•
The Serial ATA cable is smaller and more flexible allowing easier routing
inside the chassis. The lower pin count of the Serial ATA cable eliminates the
problem caused by the wide, flat ribbon cables of the Parallel ATA interface.
•
Hot plug support for Serial ATA drive and connections are not available in
this motherboard.
•
