Johan, A much cheaper (and probably the BEST supported card), is the supermicro based on the marvell chipset. This is the same chipset that is used in the thumper x4500 so you know that the folks at sun are doing their due diligence to make sure the drivers are solid. It's also much cheaper than almost all RAID based alternatives to boot. If you aren't using the raid functionality, don't waste your money on a raid card :) http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AoC-SAT2-MV8.cfm Here's where I purchased mine from, but I'm guessing you are not in the US and they don't ship to your country of origin. http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=AOC-SAT2MV&c=fr&pid=84b59337aa4414aa488fdf95dfd0de1a1e2a21528d6d2fbf89732c9ed77b72a4
