I recently decided to upgrade my system, and would like to get a
motherboard capable of supporting 8 hard drives. The ASUS A8N-SLI
Premium seemed to fit the bill, as it has 8 SATA connections. However,
upon further review, these connections fall into two groups - 4
connections are for normal SATA drive use, and the other 4 connections
are only able to be used for RAID purposes.


You'd better double-check that. The way I read the specs (could be wrong) is that four of the connectors are raid capable. -Dave
