What is eSATAII?

This motherboard supports eSATAII interface, the external SATAII specification.

eSATAII allows you to enjoy the SATAII function provided by the I/O of your

computer, offering the high speed data transfer rate up to 3.0Gb/s, and the

convenient mobility like USB. eSATAII is equipped with Hot Plug capability that

enables you to exchange drives easily. For example, with eSATAII interface, you

may simply plug your eSATAII hard disk to the eSATAII ports instead of opening

your chassis to exchange your SATAII hard disk. Currently, on the market, the

data transfer rate of USB 2.0 is up to 480Mb/s, and for IEEE 1394 is up to

400Mb/s. However, eSATAII provides the data transfer rate up to 3000Mb/s,

which is much higher than USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394, and still keeps the conve-

nience of Hot Plug feature. Therefore, on the basis of the advantageous transfer

speed and the facilitating mobile capability, in the near future, eSATAII will replace

USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 to be a trend for external interface.

NOTE:

1. If you set “SATA Operation Mode” option in BIOS setup to AHCI or RAID mode, Hot

Plug function is supported with eSATAII devices. Therefore, you can insert or remove

your eSATAII devices to the eSATAII ports while the system is power-on and in

working condition.

2. If you set “SATA Operation Mode” option in BIOS setup to IDE mode, Hot Plug

function is not supported with eSATAII devices. If you still want to use eSATAII

function in IDE mode, please insert or remove your eSATAII devices to the

eSATAII ports only when the system is power-off.

3. If you want to use the eSATAII HDD as an OS disk, please set “SATA Operation

Mode” option in BIOS setup to IDE mode. If you want to use the eSATAII HDD

as a removable data disk, please set “SATA Operation Mode” option in BIOS setup

to RAID mode. If you want to add the eSATAII HDD as a RAID disk, please set “SATA

Operation Mode” option in BIOS setup to RAID mode.

4. Please do not configure your eSATAII HDD as a RAID disk; otherwise, it may affect

the Hot Plug function that eSATAII HDD should have.

5. Please refer to page 46 to 50 for detailed information of RAID mode, IDE mode and

AHCI mode.
