raid controller

Hi, I want to put 5 Samsung F3's 1tb in raid0. I have a asus p8p67 pro mobo. Would I need to get a separate raid controller?

In theory I suppose it's possible using 5 of the 6 Intel SATA ports.

Not a good idea though. 5 times the chance of losing all your data especially as you will have to use the potentially faulty SATA3 ports.

And how would you even be able to back up 5TB of data?

I presume you would have a separate boot drive as I'm not sure you can boot from a 5TB partition.

Yes I have a SSD for boot drive.

I have a external hdd for backing up important data
