These next generation connectors support the thin Serial ATA cables
for Serial ATA hard disks. The current Serial ATA interface allows up to
150 MB/s data transfer rate, faster than the standard parallel ATA with
133 MB/s (Ultra ATA/133).

(7-pin R-SATA1, R-SATA2, R-SATA3, R-SATA4)
These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may

RAID configuration.

connected the SATA cable and installed Serial ATA devices. You
cannot enter the SATARaid utility and SATA BIOS setup during
POST if there are no connected Serial ATA devices.
