4.Serial ATA RAID connectors (7-pin SATA_RAID1, SATA_RAID2) (on RAID models only)

These Serial ATA connectors support SATA hard disks that you may configure as a RAID set. Through the onboard Promise PDC20378 RAID controller, you may create a RAID0, RAID1, RAID0+1, or multi- RAID configuration together with the RAID ATA133 connector. See Chapter 5 for details on RAID configuration.
