Hi,
I have upgraded my PC with new MB and it is begging to be made in to
full blown mdam server. I asked and got several recommendation for SATA
expansion cards. The recommendations typically go for PCIe x1-2port type
cards like this one

However, I am looking for something along PCIe x4/x8 with 4+ ports like
this one

or (similar, but cheaper)

Any one has any experience? Are there some other recommended ones along
this line. Basically, I am looking for non raid (I do not want pay for
the HW RAID component which I will not use) easy to use expansion card
with several ports that is reliable (I have this:
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124064 and it drops
hard drives the moment I stress it)
