I have an ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe motherboard.
It has the capability of connecting 4 SATA drives via the Southbridge chipset and connecting 4 SATA drives via the Silicon Image controller.

I have two 74Gb Raptor drives that I want to hook in Raid 0 and I have two 34 GB Raptor drives that I also want to hook up as Raid 0.

I have two Plextor SATA double layer DVD drives that I want to hook up, not as Raid of course.

Questions:
------------------
Which drive should be the boot drive, the 34GB or the 75GB?
To which controller should the boot drive be connected?
To which controller should the other drive be connected?
To which controller or controllers should the two DVD drives be connected?
Which will be Master drives and which slaves?

Your help would be appreciated!
