The <$100 types keep changing availability. Here are the
lspci ids of some <$100 IDE adapters that are working great with low
overhead (mirroring with 2 disks attached, one on each channel):
105a:4d30 Promise Technology, Inc. 20267 (rev 02)
Subsystem: Promise Technology, Inc. Ultra100 (ATA100 is old, I know)
1095:0680 CMD Technology Inc PCI0680 (rev 01)
1095:0680 Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: Silicon Image, Inc. PCI0680 Ultra ATA-133 Host Controller
(tricky to boot from due to wierd BIOS drive assignments)
I've bought 2 IDE PCI cards that didn't work well. I pitched them and
did not record the numbers. Shame on me, or maybe QA isn't perfect on
the cheap cards and I got a bum unit.
I haven't tried any add-on SATA boards yet.
Just buy one and try it. Taiwan is better than China.
If you need something repeatable, you'll have to go with a $300 server
kind such as what Dell sells.
