I was wondering if the ASUS Rampage VI Formula supports 4x RAID 0 with SATA III.
im hoping to hook up 4x Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB (SH103S3/120G) 2.5" SSD's to get a total of 2220MB/S, if not my other alternatives would be to A) Buy a New RAID Controller or B) use 2x 240GB at half the speed for the same price, any advice is appreciated.

Per the Maximus VI Formula manual, the Intel Rapid Storage utility supports a maximum of 4 SATA disks in RAID configuration. Based upon that, I would assume that you can do what you are proposing though I'm not sure you would get the throughput that you're expecting.
