Quick MOBO/RAID question...

[mjreddy]

If a mobo's specs say the following:

Intel ICH6R South Bridge:
- 1 x UltraDMA 100/66/33
- 4 x Serial ATA with Intel Matrix Storage Technology with RAID 0, 1 support
Silicon Image 3114R RAID controller:
- 4 x Serial ATA, RAID 0, 1, 10, 5 (RAID 5 software patch available, no WHQL)
ITE IDE RAID controller:
- 2 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 with JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 0+1 support

Does that mean there are connections for each, meaning i could potentially hook up a total of 11 drives, 1 Ultra DMA, 2 SATA RAIDS with four drives each and another ATA RAID with two drives?

Or are some of these connections shared? How does this work?

Thanks in advance for the help...

You could hook all those drives up, but you'd better have a ginormous power supply.
