Hi All,

I've managed to fill up the 6 SATA headers on my new Asus P6TD motherboard already, but I have some PCI slots free.

Does anyone know if there are any controller cards I can add which would give me extra SATA headers>

Cheers,

Paul.
 
Yeah, there are plenty of options out there. A cheap Silicon Image based one would do you fine, just be aware that there are a fair number out there which have 4 physical ports (2 internal + 2 external normally) but only two can be activated at a time.

If you've got a free PCIe slot then I'd go for a PCIe card rather than PCI, there's more available bandwidth to a PCIe slot.
