Not enough Sata ports? :(

[SymTax]

Currently looking to buy an SSD, but I've just realised my mobo only has 2 sata ports. One for my HDD, other for CD drive.

Other than buying a new mobo, is there any way to add more ports?

You could always add a controller card:

Well, I've completely missed 4 of them. How on earth I managed that is beyond me.

Surely that thing has SATAIII :S

Edit: Misread thought you said 2 SATAII ports. I was going to tell you to go to bed, however I think I should follow my own advice.
