Question About Adaptec Raid Card

[AMD_RULES]

I have a question reguarding an adaptec raid controller.
This model says it has four lanes supported. Does this mean
I will be able to run two hdds in RAID 1 for os and lets say 6 hdds in RAID 10?

Adaptec 2252100-R

Thanks for all input!

That card has eight lanes. Without port multiplier or SAS-expanders you can connect eight drives. According to the specifications:

Multiple arrays and types per disk drive

It will support multiple arrays, so you can create a RAID-0 and a RAID-10 or two RAID-6 or who knows what.

in short: yes.

ok, thanks for the reply.
I'm gonna probably get this with two 80GB SATA2 in RAID1 - OS
and six 250GB SATA2 in RAID 10 with two hotspare - DATA
