Hi, I am currently looking at this motherboard:

I am planning on having one SSD for my OS and games:

And then I was going to hook up three of these of these drives in a RAID5:

BUT I would like to hook up 4 of those Hitachis in a RAID-0+1 if possible.

Is there enough room on the Motherboard for that? The specs say "6 SATA" but there might be something about it I don't know.

Thanks!
 
Should be able to use six SATA drives then. If not you can get a RAID card VERY cheap or spend more for a better RAID card. They range $50 - $300 for most.
