Well I don't own one of these things, but it looks like the SATA stuff
goes through the JMicron chip, while the RAID is provided by the 975.
I thought it was the other way around?
Southbridge
- 4 x SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports
JMicron(r) JMB363 PATA and SATA controller
- 1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 for up to 2 PATA devices
- 1 x Internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s port
- 1 x External SATA 3.0 Gb/s port (SATA On-the-Go)
- Support SATA RAID 0, 1 and JBOD
(from
http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1178&l1=3&l2=11&l3=307)
That seems to say that 4 SATA drives can go through the Southbridge
(P965, typo earlier, sorry)
Yeah - looks like it is for that board - as it uses ICH8 for plain old
SATA and JMicron for RAID, other similar boards seem to use ICH8R for
RAID and JMicron for plain old SATA... just to add to the confusion :-)
Cheers
