[H] SATA PCI Express cards

[Christopher Fisk]

Hi Folks,

I'm looking for an inexpensive addon card that has at least 4 internal 
SATA ports and one eSATA port for storage expansion on my system.  eSATA 
will be used for my backup and rotate between a couple of drives, so hot 
plug there is best.  the SATA ports will mostly be data storage.  I've 
been using my system as a Tivo server and converting my DVD's to watch 
directly on the tivo, and I am out of space on my 4TB.  (Well, down to 
less than 300GB and it is time to expand.)

I've found a few with 2 internal SATA and 1 eSATA port, for a reasonable 
amount, but the cards that support more than that seem to be over the $100 
range.  You know anything that isn't total crap that will do what I want 
for around $50?
