In terms of hanging a bunch of SSDs off a single one, does anyone know what the practical limits of ICH10R are in terms of sustained throughput off SATA channels + number of I/Os that can be managed per second?

Also, I understand that ICH10R is not a disk controller but rather something of an I/O hub.... USB 2.0, firewire, gigabit ethernet, PCI slots and integrated HD audio all hang off ICH10, right? If so, in addition to the above question, are there any articles or references out there to how ICH10R holds up in servicing these other things (USB, ethernet, audio) under heavy SATA load?

If not, you can do RAID0 with as many drives as you want. I'm running 8.

I think he, like a lot of people, think you need to do it in groups of 2... which isn't the case.

I got 3x640s in Raid0 + Raid5 (W/ ICH9R)
 
No, Raid0 + Raid5.

Has a 300GB Raid0 Volume, then a 1TB Raid5 volume.
 
600MB - 660MB or so is all the ICH10R can do. I have four 30GB Vertex's on X58 board right now - and new/read speeds that is the limit.

I went with four for the write speed increases - especially as the drives age.
