Thank you for all the help provided into this topic! 
I have only one final question!
After reading the Asus review:

From left to right there is the is the audio header, the CD-in header, two Firewire headers, two USB 2.0 headers, the TPM header, power/reset buttons, and the front panel headers. Swinging to the right spine of the board are the ten SATA ports. Port 0-3 support the Drive Xpert feature of the P5Q Premium, which use the Silicon Image SIL5723 controller and need no drivers to be installed to an OS before being fully operational. If one drive is connected you can set it only as a backup drive for your system. With two drives you can set them up in backup mode (RAID 1), and Super Speed mode (RAID 0), without the need for any software or drivers. Think of it as a separate RAID controller independent from the ports operated by the ICH10R southbridge, which controls the six red SATA ports. To the right of the SATA ports are the IDE port, the floppy port, and the COM port. |
Are you sure we can plug 10 SATA drives, like this one:

And use all of them? English is not my native language, that's why I need to be sure the aditional 4 SATA ports are not designed to be used only as a way of backup, I mean, I don't want to find out that only 6 SATA ports are operational and 4 of them are somehow only working as a mirror drive or something.
Just a confirmation if I'll be able to use and access the contents of 10 different drives at the same time. I thought this kind of MB never existed.
Am I correct to assume the Gigabyte model is better?
