asus motherboard and raid

Hi, I have a asus p8p67 pro motherboard and was wondering what's the most amount of hdd I could put in raid0?
Baring in mind I have a optical drive connected to a sata port and I will be adding a SSD in the near future.

Thanks

6 but not that safe

Ok I'm wanting to have 5 Samsung F3 in raid0 for my storage.
SSD for operating system and a couple of games I play most of the time.
And a External HDD for backing up important documents and pics.

Oh yeah you will also need a raid controller http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CC-000-LL&groupid=701&catid=49&subcat=424

There is also the chipset problem to keep in mind, seems to be that the only reason that there is a 5-10% chance your motherboard is faulty is that about that many people need to use a lot of the ports.

5 seems to be pretty overkill, but that is most probably just me.

EDIT: Just noticed anuraj linking the raid controller. You would need one of them.
