PCI slots.
Serial ATA Devices
The Serial ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) is the standard interface for
the IDE hard drives, which is designed to overcome the design limitations while
enabling the storage interface to scale with the growing media rate demands of PC
platforms. It provides you a faster transfer rate of 3.0 Gb/s. If you have installed a
Serial ATA hard drive, you can connect the Serial ATA cables to the Serial ATA hard
drive or the connector on the motherboard.
On the motherboard, locate the Serial ATA connectors SATA1-4, which support
Serial ATA devices, simpler disk drive cabling and easier PC assembly.
It eliminates limitations of the current Parallel ATA interface, but maintains register
compatibility and software compatibility with Parallel ATA.
