Mixing SATA and PATA

Running Server3.0.

 

Can I mix SATA and PATA using the built in SATA ports on the stock Intel D865GLCLK MB?  I would like to add a SATA drive to one of the two built in SATA ports on the MB and assign this as the parity drive, since this should give me somewhat better parity write performance?  Presently I have eight IDE drives.  Assuming I can populate the two MB SATA ports am I limited to only adding two more IDE drives for a total of 12 drives (Until I upgrade to 4.0)?  I only have 1 promise TX4 card installed right now.

 

Thanks.. Ed
