Howdy, |

I'm looking to add three more drives to my system for a software RAID5 |
| 4 |
media volume. I've used all my motherboard SATA ports so need a SATA |
| 5 |
controller. I don't want a hardware RAID controller (been there, burned |
| 6 |
when controller died). 4 SATA2 ports is the minimum required. I have |
| 7 |
both PCIe and PCI slots available. I do not need high performance as |
| 8 |
the RAID will just contain media files for access in my home. I would |
| 9 |
prefer a controller supported by normal kernel drivers. My preference |
| 10 |
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. |
