I am planning upgrade from ICH8R mobo to ICH9R (P35) mobo. Although ICH8R supports 6 SATA ports, it only can support 4 drives in RAID5 mode and does not support RAID enhancement. Does anyone know if ICH9R supports 6 drives in RAID5 and RAID enhancement.

Thanks for you time.

Added on May 26, 2007, 7:22 pmI bought Gigabyte G33-DS3R which has ICH9R and attached with 4 WD HDD 500GB in RAID 5 configuration. From the Intel Storage Matrix v7.5 when setting up RAID 5 I saw that you can select up to 6 driver. But too bad it doesn't support RAID enhancement. I guess that it why you buy standalone RAID controllers like AMCC, etc.
