I had a K7N2-ILSR board using the sata connectors to boot from in a raid 1
configuration the ports only support 2 drives.I had nothing but problems
with this board from day one, finally built another box with a different
board ans resigned that board to the bone yard.The raid setup worked but was
unstable, hope this helps.
