I have the GA EP45-ud3r MB with this north bridge. Mine has 3 separate Bios entries for ahci, raid, and jmicron. 

IIRC C5.4 has drivers for all. The worst thing you can do is install with
the functionality off in the bios. Turn them all on, install, then decide if you want to tweek.

I never ran JBOD, but did try RAID0 and it was flawless. Dmraid handled it.
