Nope .. You can get 8 on the A8N SLI deluxe ( 4 nvidia , 4 Silicon image ) and many boards now have about 4 but the numbers are dependant on motherboard manufacturer, chipset and if the manufacturer embeds another controller like asus have on the deluxe.Originally Posted by Famished
With the Serial ATA 3 Gb/s ports you will soon be able to split them and have 2 serial ATA drives both running @ SATA150 connected for even more space
Cheers for your help mate, you just made it easier for me to build my PCNope ..

I run two of these in raid 0 on a Asus A8N SLI Deluxe and the are very good especialy with large amounts of data. I have a couple of 120 Gb Maxtor's in raid 0 on the other controler and the Sata 2's are alot better.
The run very slightly hotter than the 120Gb Maxtor's I have.
SATA 3 GB/s Raptors anyone, yes please

Nah, sticking with SCSI here.
If only i could get some cheapo drives

That'e exactly why I moved away from SCSI and it's not just the drives either what about the controllers and cables
Yea, it is seriously hard to justify the cost of SCSI (I moved away too). The thing is, drives like the Raptor can compare favorably to SCSI drives for many desktop applications. No doubt that in absolute terms, the latest 15k drives will stomp the Raptor all over. But by what margins, and at what cost...
Personally I think the Main benefits from SATA 3GB/sec or whatever its caled is the guarentee of NCQ support for both the controllers and the drives. Must make windows usage a fair bit faster, especially when hammering the HDD

Doh! Just read the Anandtech article. Typical bullsh*t. Overcomplicate everything to fool the idiots. Make far more effort required when selecting a drive.

I work for a company that specialises in Storage Infrastructure and they are soon realising a new model that will house 24TB in a 2U chassis

Does anyone know of any plans to release 15K Sata 3GB/s drives?
