We use RAID controllers from 3ware (several vintages).. They work.

I use SYBA controllers with 4 internal. They run about $20 on newegg.

RaidCore/BroadCom has a 4 port and an 8 port SATA RAID card. I was
testing
an 8 port one w/ 2 of the SuperMicro enclosures w/ 10 drives. 2
drives were
unused. You can also use multiple RaidCore cards together and
combine the
drives. Ex: 16 drives, 2 of the 8 port cards in a RAID 0, 1, 1+n,
5, 10,
50 array that looks like 1 big drive to the OS (RedHat, Fedora, Suse,
Windows). They run something like $300.
On a similar note, I'd like to find a multiport SATA controller (> 3
active
ports) and I can't spend $300 :-(. I don't care about hardware RAID,
I just
want multiple SATA drives attached.
I've seen 4 port cards that have 2 internal and 2 external, but only
2 ports
can be used at a time. That isn't what I'm looking for.
