Neither in mine (not yet) :)

I you want more SATA ports, then you can check out the FIR version of this MOBO.
The main difference is the Firewire ports and a second SATA controller
(Promise 20579) price is approx. 30% higher. 

The promise controller can do 0+1 with the two SATA drives and two PATA drives.
But you can't do 0+1 with four SATA drives, because they are on two different
RAID controllers.

The ASUS A8V-DX K8T800 (as you asked) has also a promise 20378 onboard, so
also not able to do 0+1 with four SATA drives.
