So far you have found those four things are incompatible, that is why your here. I'm telling you point blank that they are incompatible and to give up looking for that combo. Get rid of one of these items and your being reasonable. If you want redundancy and cheap, and add-in card, then get a udma 133 card and discounted disk drives. If you want redundancy and cheap and SATA then replace your motherboard with one that has a SATA raid chipset on it and these existing SATA drives you apparently already have. By the time you buy a SATA raid card you can pay for a new motherboard that is better and faster and already has SATA raid on it.
