GA-8KNXP MB with SATA and IDE

[daniel1113]

Hey guys,

I have a Gigabyte 8KNXP motherboard, and I am trying to figure out is the maximum number of drives I can connect to it. Since it has a total of 4 IDE connectors and 2 SATA controllers, can I use them all at the same time, or is there some sort of limit, such as the SATA headers taking the place of the IDE headers when in use?

Basically, what I would like to do is add 2 SATA drives in a RAID configuration, while keeping the 6 IDE HD's and 2 optical drives that I already have.

Any idea if this is possible? Thanks a bunch.
