you could always add a card with addition sata ports.

The board below has 8 but you need a extra £26 ~

The extra 2 use the Gigabyte controller.

jesus!!!

so a 5 port card like this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CC-000-LL&groupid=701&catid=49&subcat=424

plus the motherboards 6 gives 11, unless there is another card that has even more ports?
