Hi. I'm looking at setting up software RAID across 5 drives on an Intel
motherboard that has a ICH7R 4-port SATA controller and also an
additional 4 SATA ports on a Marvell controller.
Is there anything I should be aware of when creating a software RAID5
array with drives hosted on more that one controller? Is this a bad
idea, or no problem?
Thanks
-Greg

I do it with 6 ports on 965 + 2 port sata controllers, no issues in my
case.
