The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of data transfer rate. Serial ATA connectors (SATA 6Gb/s: 7-pin SATA1, SATA2 [Blue]) (SATA 3Gb/s: 7-pin SATA3, SATA4, SATA5, SATA6 [Black]) Supported by the Intel® C204 chipset, these connectors are for the Serial ATA signal cables for Serial ATA hard disk drives that allows up to 6Gb/s of Serial ATA hard disks installed. 2-28 Chapter 2: Hardware information 2.7.2 Internal connectors 1. If you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives, you can create a RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 5 configuration.
