I have three of these :
http://www.startech.com/product/PEXSATA24E-2-Port-eSATA-4-Port-SATA-PCI-Express-x4-SATA-Controller-Adapter-Card-PCIe
and 4 of these :
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/IBM-M1015-46M0861-ServeRAID-M1015-SAS-SATA-Controller-/280655527117?pt=AU_Server_Accessories_Parts&hash=item41585f7ccd
All of which I can't recommend highly enough.
I got the Startech ones cheap from a dodgy shop about 4 years ago. They cost me about $30 each.
I got the IBM (really LSI) ones cheap from ebay at about $110 each at Christmas.
The Startech cards use the sata_mv driver and are solid, the LSI cards use the megaraid_sas driver
and are solid. As a bonus of having SAS ports, I picked up 4 Seagate Cheetah 15k.5 SAS drives for a
wicked fast RAID10 array.
Regards,
Brad
