You may also take a look at new motherboards from (for instance) 
Asus which have already 8 SATA ports of their own.  I have one board
with 4 SATA on board, 4x300GB disks striped reaching over 200MB/s.

See http://usa.asus.com/prog/spec.asp?m=A8N-SLI%20Deluxe&langs=09
Anyone tried to use all 8 ports at the same time?
The less special hardware the better, IMO.
