I have the GA-EP45-UD3R and 4 SATA HDs. I didn't install the SATA drivers at install. I set the Bios as follows:
RAID/AHCI mode.............[Disabled]
Port0-3 Native Mode........[Enabled]
and (further down):
Onboard SATA/IDE Device.....[Disabled]
x Onboard SATA IDE Control Mode...IDE
Everything is fine with this bios, but I just threw in another 750 GB HD and noticed the jumper. I thought it might be prudent to ask if this setup would perform better with the limiting jumper removed (or if it even can under this bios setup and no SATA startup drivers at install)?
