Recommendations For A PCI SATA Controller

[jbloggs]

As per title, I would like to add a couple of extra SATA HDDs to my motherboard for extra storage, as all the SATA posts are already filled, something inexpensive but works well, I do not require it to have RAID as well. I will be using it with an Asus P4P800 E Deluxe mobo.

Many thanks for your comments.

Either the Adaptec AAR-1210 or the Highpoint 1520 card from here will do what you're looking for, the Vantec one at the bottom is cheap but only a single internal port...

Don't worry about them being RAID controllers, you'll be able to run the disks individually. Also both support 48bit LBA so disks > 137Gb are not a problem.
