Thinking of upgrading my workstation with a SSD. Has decided to purchase a motherboard with ICH10R RAID Controller and 4 or 6 X25-E SSDs. Would such system will work normally? Whether there will be enough productivity of the controller? What controller will advise?

I have a system like this. the first issue to overcome is getting the suppliers to make sure their ssd firmware can allow TRIM to see the raid array. I use supertalent SSD's and their performance refresh tool PRT can't see into the raid array, although they say they are rewritting their firmware. Otherwise the system seems to work ok. the throughput of the ICH10R controller is an issue which i will look into as i was not aware of any potential limitations here..
