Well the onboard is fine if you don't plan to use more than 2 SAS drives! I wouldn't imagine the Marvell SAS controller would be any good for more than running 2 10k SAS drives. The current generation Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 drives push nearly 170mb/sec each. This is why the need for a seperate SAS controller card for some. Also even if we wanted to run the likes of a hardware raid controller for SATA2 on the P6T it still wouldn't work with SLI. Unfortunately Asus screwed the PCI-E slot arrangement up on the P6T deluxe. I guess some of us will have to either wait for this board or the workstation version of the P6T with a more widely spaced PCI-E slot arrangement. It's a shame too since the P6T deluxe was looking like a really nice board.
