Introduction

Serial ATA (Supported in the NVIDIA nForce 4 4X chipset)

Support Serial ATA, an evolutionary replacement for Parallel ATA IDE storage interface. Increases the peak data transfer speed up to 150MB/sec and allows future enhancements to the computing platform.

Serial ATA II (Supported in the NVIDIA nForce 4 SLI chipset)

S-ATA II is the second generation SATA interface with double the transferring speed up to 300MB/sec. It supports NCQ to provide faster reading speed for your storage devices. Hot-plug has also become its standard function to plug/ unplug whenever you want.

S-ATA RAID

RAID function available on chipset S-ATA/S-ATA II ports.

USB2.0

A popular USB standard for plugging in peripherals with up to 480Mbps transfer speed while maintaining backward compatibility with older USB1.1 device.
