Hey all! :)

Need some help finding a mobo, currently I'm using this but I'm looking at expanding my data capacity and want a mobo that handles more advanced data solutions and supports SLI.


HDD's the mobo needs to cater for are
1x 64GB SSD for OS (6GB/s)
2x 256GB SSD in Raid 0 for software (6GB/s)
4x 2TB HDD in Raid 10 For data(not entirely sure on what raid I want for these)

I also have a blue ray drive taking up one Sata port and an old 320GB drive which is on my to-do list of things that need sorted, space for that too would be good, but 8 SATA slots is minimum and it needs to support multiple Raid.

So it needs at least 8 Sata slots with three being 6gb/s, and needs to support SLI; intel of course! ;) eSata would be a plus too.

Any suggestions? (I'm new to Raid! D= )
 
Does anyone know if this would support multiple raid set ups? I'm trying to keep costs down and this seems perfect, if it can run multiple raid... Alternatively, can anyone tell me how to tell if they can or not? :D

This is what it says on the website but I'm not too sure how to digest teh information..
Chipset:
2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (SATA3 0/SATA3 1) supporting up to 2 SATA 6Gb/s devices
4 x SATA 3Gb/s connectors (SATA2 2~SATA2 5) supporting up to 4 SATA 3Gb/s devices
1 x mSATA connector
* The SATA2 5 connector will become unavailable when the mSATA connector is installed with a solid state drive.
Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10
* When a RAID set is built across the SATA 6Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s channels, the system performance of the RAID set may vary depending on the devices being connected.
1 x Marvell 88SE9172 chip:
2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors (GSATA3 6/GSATA3 7) supporting up to 2 SATA 6Gb/s devices
Support for RAID 0 and RAID 1

Any idea if that will support multiple RAID set ups or will I need a PCI controller for that etc?
