and, onboard with 6 sata ports....sooooo what would be the best method of connecting the drives if i go with 4 raidz vdevs or 5 raidz vdevs?
Try to distribute the raidz vdevs as evenly as possible across the available SATA controllers. In other words, try to wire a drive from each vdev to a different SATA controller if possible. The ideal case (rarely achieved) would be if you had the same number of SATA controllers as you have devices in the raidz vdev. This should assist with performance since you are only using PCI-X.
