If you need exactly SATA, not SAS 6g controller, then choice is not so big: either something integrated into latest Intel (only two ports) or AMD (6 ports) chipset, or something based on Marvell 88SE91xx chips. Last case also has only 2 ports, but you may install two cards, or use Highpoint RocketRAID 640, which is just two above chips connected with PCIe bridge. -- Alexander Motin
