ALL of the drives will be SATA drives and my motherboard, the Asus A8N-Sli premium has 8 Sata ports on it(4 controlled by the Nvidia chipset are the ones I'm going to use, plus there's four more controlled by the Silicon Imaging SATA chipset)

Sweet hardware.

Been looking at that board (and the *32 Deluxe version myself.

Personally, I would place the "random data" drives on a seperate controller than the RAID, but that's just me.
