Boot drive connect to Sata Card ok?

[psy81]

I know this may sound like a dumb question but I will be building a PC with 10 hard drives in an Antec 1200 and was wondering if it would be okay to connect the boot drive to a sata card as opposed to the sata port on the motherboard for cable management purposes.

Please advise and thanks

If it is a recent intel board, you will have much better performance from SATA ports originating in the CPU or PCH than you will from an accessory card, unless it is a high-end card.
