I'm also looking for advice on SATA controllers. The machine I'm working with is used for backups and has a motherboard with four SATA-I ports and three drives connected to them in a RAID Z. I would like to add three more 1TB drives to increase the space available for backups but that requires a SATA controller to increase the number of ports available. I currently have a UGT-ST200 from a previous upgrade which provides me with an extra internal SATA-I port and an eSATA port. I could connect one of the 1TB drives to the eSATA port and put it in an external case or I could go with two 2TB drives although they will be more expensive then the three 1TB drives.
Does anyone have a SATA controller they would recommend that's a decent price with at least 2 internal SATA ports or should I stick with the UGT-ST200? If the controller has more than 2 internal SATA ports that would allow for future upgrades or if it was a PCI Express card that would be a bonus.
