I have done it several times. The only concern is that some of the non-intel and non-amd supplied cheaper SATA chipset are crap, so carefully read about any issues around the 2nd controller. I have an Gigabyte FM2 board (8 build-in AMD supplied SATA ports) + 4 PCI Sil SATA ports (slow but stable). I had serious issues with a marvell supplied PCIE controller (crashed on some IO + smartctl commands). A VIA chipset (ASUS build-into MB vintage 2006) that would crash under heavy usage. And read a number of issues around other PCIE cards enough to make me stay away of the cheap( add-on card/add-on MB ports).
