Yeah, I'm sure they do.  You could also buy a controller for $20 - i am
happy with my Silicon Image SATA controller, and I have another SI ide
controller that has been working well for years.   for example, 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132007
has 1 internal, 1 external sata port; they also come with 2 internals,
or more, of course.
