Actually, in the motherboard pictures I see 6 SATA ports (blue/black/red)
and 8 SAS ports (white/gray), and the AIDA64 output shows 6 SATA ports, as
expected. It says the LSI 1068 chip is an 8-port chip, so 8 SAS ports
would make sense.

In some cases, the SATA ports in these configurations will report as being
attached to the motherboard chipset. You'll see 4 SATA ports, and 4 SAS
ports. I don't remember off the top of my head how they report in all cases.

Harry:
Blue SATA is default SATA boot, grey SAS is default SAS boot. SAS because
of the LSI 1068E controller limitations will only support to 2 TB, but will
support raw drive access if raid is not configured. I have not had any luck
getting the red SATA ports to work on my multiple 8400s with OI.
SATA disks can run on a SAS controller no problem - they are backwards
compatible, however SAS disks will NOT work on a SATA only controller.
The blue colored SATA socket is port 0, probably for the boot volume. I
can't see from the angle of the photo, but I bet the white colored sockets
are for S
