chaintech has one that does ide raid.
everything else is sata raid with the silicon image controller.and unless your into s+m and love pain stay away from it as long as you can.
id even suggest just getting what ever mobo you want and buying a pci raid card.

yes you can use the sata conrtoller and put sata adaptors on the ide drives.but the contorller is junk. i dont advise useing it.

the asus uses the SI sata raid.not ide.

Gigabyte will have one. The king shooter version will be loaded and will include dual BIOS -- probably a very good idea with this nforce2 chipset.
