I'm upgrading my server (running UNRAID) and at this  point I've run out of 
SATA ports on the MB (all 6 full).  So I'm looking for recommendations on an 
add-on card, preferably PCI-E (I've got empty slots), but the card will need 
Linux drivers.

Any Ideas?

Yeah, been there, have Prime.  I noticed that I had to practically 
research each card to find out if they have Linux drivers.
