A bit late for a reply maybe, but I have just complete a build with the same mobo and everything works just fine. Of course, with only 2 SATA-2 ports onboard, a PCI card is required. The board seems to be able to handle the job quite well.
Not sure if it's of interest to anyone, but I have documented my build (and another one) here:
