I thought it was the other way around?

Southbridge
 - 4 x SATA 3.0 Gb/s ports
JMicron(r) JMB363 PATA and SATA controller
 - 1 x UltraDMA 133/100/66 for up to 2 PATA devices
 - 1 x Internal SATA 3.0 Gb/s port
 - 1 x External SATA 3.0 Gb/s port (SATA On-the-Go)
 - Support SATA RAID 0, 1 and JBOD

(from http://usa.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1178&l1=3&l2=11&l3=307)

That seems to say that 4 SATA drives can go through the Southbridge
(P965, typo earlier, sorry)
