Installing a PCI SATA card?

That should work provided it has drivers for your OS. Do you really have a computer without a PCIe slot?
 
Well I have a PCI-e 1x slot and a PCI slot in an old Optiplex that I've repurposed. The computer is used exclusively for backups, so the I/O speed limitation presented by the PCI slot is not a huge deal.

Do you think it would make sense to get a PCI-e 1x card instead of PCI?

If you can afford it, then yes, go for the PCI-E 1x card.
Otherwise the PCI version will work just fine as long as you don't need the throughput.
 
SiI chip is a safe bet, personally I got two kinds of cheap PCI SATA cards with other chips and they never worked. I don't know why they would call it "6-port" when you can only use 4 at a time.

If there is a cheap PCIe 1X 4 port card available, I would definitely take that.
