Another note would be that if you plan on using SATA, make sure you stay current with kernels (even despite this not being an nvidia board), and if you plan on trying a SATA RAID, you will not be able to dual boot with itWhat about installing to a SATA JBOD? Will that work fine?
Yes, definitely.When you install the disks, they default to JBOD. If you do not configure the disks for RAID, then Linux and Windows (using the vendor-provided drivers) are perfectly comfortable "interoperating" on them, and furthermore you can use LVM2 or Linux md RAID without interfering with Windows (obviously). The only problem is that there is no equivalent feature in Windows, at least as far as I know, so you will end up with Windows running from one of the disks or the other (or, more to the point, split equally across both, as C: and D:).
