I'm not sure, but I heard that you can only run hard drives on the raid (3&4) ports. What I heard is that if the raid s/w is not installed, the raid ports will support hard drives, but that is my opinion, I could be wrong. (sorry Dennis)

Yes, you can! But you can't run ATAPI devices like CD-ROM or DVD-ROM on these ports...
