It doesn't need to be fast, and it doesn't matter if it is PCI or PCI-e.
I had an older VT6421-based PCI SATA/IDE controller I was hoping would work but failed miserably.
Two ports is more than enough for what this needs to do, as it is only going to have one drive connected create a datastore to create a VM that I'll pass the rest of the controllers in the system to via VT-d.
If someone knows of some way to force ESXi to allow me to create a datastore on the USB stick it is installed on, that'd make this controller not necessary
