Z97 Extreme 9 + PCIe3 RAID

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I am currently busy with a new PC build and require 14 x SATA 6G ports.
What I would like to know is whether or not it would be workable to combine the following to achieve this:

a) Motherboard: Asrock Z97 Extreme 9 (6 x SATA 6G ports on Z97 + 4 x SATA 6G ports via Asmedia)
b) RAID Controller: Intel RS3UC080 (PCIe 3.0 8-lane / 8-port RAID controller)

Follow-on question if above combination is workable:

Will system still be able to support a single NVidia GTX980 at 16x on PCIe 3.0 connection?

Any help / feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Dave
