Raid on ASUS P7P55D-E LX

[HelioX]

Hi,

I plan to run two raid arrays using the motherboards onboard controller. This will be for everyday use/gaming/local media storage.

I want to run 4 Intel X25-V 40GB SSDs in Raid 0 and 4 Western Digital Caviar Blue WD5000AAKS 500GB in Raid 5. Should I look into getting a raid card, or will I have a good user experience?

You have 6 ICH10R ports and 2 SATA 6.0gbps ports on two different controllers.

How will the two controllers work together, if at all?

Can I do 4 SSDs, and 2 HDs on one controller and 2 HDs on the other? Maybe not in RAID 5, but could I do RAID 0 on my SSDs and 2 RAID 1s with the HDs?
