A hardware question

I am thinking of setting up an unraid system with ASUS P5PE-VM mobo.  I want to go with 2 ide drives and 10 sata drives (eventually) using 2  PROMISE SATA300 TX4 PCI SATA Controller Cards. Will this work?  I assume that the sata ports on the MOBO will be parity and disk 1 and that the two IDE disks will be disks 2 and 3.  Will the promise sata card drives be recognized as disks 4-11?  Thanks.  I love the idea of unraid and hope this works.

Yes, should work.  Be sure to post back your experience using this motherboard.
