I need to make a big RAID array, and it seems that the Gigabyte boards are the only ones that have 6 ports on a single ICH9R controller. I don't want to get a RAID expansion card because the ICH9R is supposed to be very good and can do the job. That would also mean I'd have to use a PCI-E slot for the expansion card too and I need at least one 4x slot free.
 
my Gigabyte GA-p35-dq6 has 6 SATA on the ich9, and work great on RAID 0+1, plus two 400gb sata storage, otherwise, check out one of the Asus boards (bit more expensive) that has 6 and a ton of USB 2.0 ports, allowing for USB storage drives.
 
Would seem a bit pointless to build an ICH9R board & not enable/fit all 6 ports (ICH9 only has 4).
Similarly they pretty much all support at least 10 USB if not the full 12.
The vanlla IP35 as well as Pro has 6 ports on the ICH9R.
