building my first pc with this board

[4pbears]

i am going to be building my first pc using the asus P4C800-E, and i have a couple of questions. i am new to the idea of using raid, and need some advice. with this board can i setup an array of 4 WD SATA 72GB hard drives, at 10,000 rpm on this board using just the equiptment that comes in the box, or do i need for instance, to buy some extra sata cables, connectors etc. i also want to run it using the RAID 0/1 or 0+1 setup. any advice would be greatly appreciated.


thanks.


Dave.

Read here. There's only two sata connectors on the board so no 4 way raid.
I've got to say you've really got b@lls if you want to do 4 disk raid on your first build (not to mention the $$$$ for 4 72g raptors)!!
And I'm no raid expert but if you were to use 4 I would think you'd want something different like raid5, just a thought. Maybe you can find an add in board that will do this for you.
