I would use the red ports for raid, which is sata3. Then that will leave all the black slots, sata2 for your other devices. Then use the add-on card for your 8 WD drives. Or grab some nas boxes for them and call it a day.

Personally I would use the Intel ports every time over the other offerings. Think I have replied to your other post too. 🙂
