I don't recall seeing a non-raid 4-port "legacy PCI" controller, but I
can't say I've looked very hard.  Hopefully your motherboard has a
"PCI express" slot available.

Search newegg for promise sata and you'll find 4-port PCI non-raid SATA/SATA-II for about $70.

When I was looking for EIDE ones, I was finding RAID ones in jbod mode would work (for some definition of 'work'), and ended up being cheaper, if that's something that's important. Actually, I've been running one for the last 4 years or so. IIRC, it's a Highpoint one.

YMMV

Max.
