Too many raid controllers?

Hi everyone, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

I've got a system that I'm proud of... but my disk space requirements have now run me into a brick wall.

4 SSD's in raid on the Intel controller running win 7 x64

the other two ports are 1 blu-ray burner and one going to case e-sata port (Cooler Master HAF 932)

Jmicron has combo blu-ray reader another 1 tb drive on sata.


The addition of Adaptec 1430sa sata controller is where the trouble has started.

For some reason the Asus P6T only loads two controllers... the jmicron followed by the adaptec, I assume related to a pc's limitation of only loading 2 raid controllers.

Don't get me started on the Jmicron controller... and who deciced it should load first is beyond me.

I was happy with the ssd's performace on intel controller and decided that I only need a controller for more space. (Adaptec w/ 4 1tb drives )

If i dissable the jmicron all is well but why can't i have all three?

Regards, Mike.
