Ok, reading around a bit on this as I have a winning idea (imo). It looks like the ICH10 will do (sata) port multiplier if it's set to JBOD mode (fine for my idea) but unsure if this is only in linux or if it works in windows too.
Does anyone have any experience getting port multiplier setup from a motherboard SATA controller on a modern intel based board?
