to add that many hard drives you would need a bigger power supply, and maybe even a controller card, that mobo only supports 2 sata's and I would add 2 pata hard drives saving one pata controller for my optical drive
that's a microatx mobo, where will you find the room for all those drives?

FWIW: I have had 7 seven drives attached to a 500-watt PS (controller card and 2 motherboard IDE slots) with no problem. I only recently changed from this setup.
