That is the kind of info I was looking for.
So, in order to RAID additional SATA drives, I have to now use the SIL
controller since I have my original INTEL SATA already committed with 2 WD
drives...? I think that is what my conclusion should be.
thanks,

I am not an expert but I believe the following to be true:
Each SATA drive needs its' own cable to the motherboard. The GA-8KNXP
supports up to four SATA drives using the two built-in SATA controllers.
You
can set them up as four independent drives or use pairs of drives in RAID
0
or RAID 1 configurations. Neither of the controllers support RAID sets
with
more than two drives. This board will also support up to eight PATA drives
with the built-in IDE controllers. PATA drives on the ITE "GigaRaid"
controller can also be set up as independent drives or as RAID sets. It is
theoretically possible to run 12 hard drives off this MB!

OK, I probably could look for another couple of hours for the right link
to
the instructions.... But I thought that I could get some simple
directions
from you experts.

I have raid0 with 2 drives set up. However, I was curious about
additional
drives. On my 8KNXP I have the INTEL sata and the SIL sata. Is there a
SATA
cable that has two locations like the older IDE drive cables?

I suggest you download the instructions from Intel:

how exactly do you set up a raid0 for 3 or more drives on the intel
sata
controller?
