Howdy,

I'm looking to add three more drives to my system for a software RAID5
media volume. I've used all my motherboard SATA ports so need a SATA
controller. I don't want a hardware RAID controller (been there, burned
when controller died). 4 SATA2 ports is the minimum required. I have
both PCIe and PCI slots available. I do not need high performance as
the RAID will just contain media files for access in my home. I would
prefer a controller supported by normal kernel drivers. My preference
is to keep costs down (3 x 1 TB drives are costly enough :).

Any recommendations?

FYI, system is gentoo ~x86, Intel Q9300, Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ6.

TIA,
Roy
