There are only two boards available to do so.

There are also cards such as these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815124130&cm_re=pci_e_sata-_-15-124-130-_-Product
That are worth consideration

Odd, the PCPartpicker specs seem to be wrong for the board listed above, it only shows 8 on the link but then has 10 physically.

Pcpartpicker is usually reliable, but not perfect. 😉

Too bad theres no way to report specs as incorrect, only compatibility issues lol

asus z79 deluxe or maximus formula vii both of these boards seem to have 10 is there something wrong with them they seem to be top tier?

 

[Gam3r01]

They just arent widely available is the issue.

ASUS X79 Specs (LINK)

Note that this MOBO has:
Intel® X79 chipset :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), black
4 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), black
Support Raid 0, 1, 5, 10
Marvell® PCIe 9230 controller :
4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), dark brown
ASMedia® ASM1061 controller :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), dark brown
2 x Power eSATA 6Gb/s port(s), green

Personally, I would not trust the Asmedia controller. IDK about the Marvell Controller. Neither are as good as the native Intel SATA Controller.

Asus Maximus VII Formula Specs (LINK)

This MOBO has:
Storage
Intel® Z97 chipset :
1 x SATA Express port, compatible with 2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2260 storage devices support (both SATA & PCIE mode)
4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), red
Support Raid 0, 1, 5, 10
Supports Intel® Smart Response Technology, Intel® Rapid Start Technology, Intel® Smart Connect Technology *3
ASMedia® SATA Express controller : *4
1 x SATA Express port, compatible with 2 x SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports
ASMedia® ASM1061 controller : *4
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), red

I would pick the Maximus Formula VII.
