Looking for PCI-E SATA Card for Mac

[Morazl]

Looking for a 10.5.x compatible SATA card to expand my boards SATA ports which are now completely full. Does anyone have any recommendations that are compatible with OSX? I do NOT need any kind of RAID, just the ability to read and write to individual drives - looking for 4 ports.

I found something that caught my eye on the egg, but the specs show it's only compatible with Windows.

Thanks in advance.

Its pricey, I know. I think you would be better off asking in the official Apple Discussion forums in the Mac Pro section. They would know the best deals for specifically what you are looking for, and what cards on NewEgg are compatible.

This is a bit cheaper: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151059

Couldn't 2 of these get the job done? http://www.macmall.com/ttsvr/p/Startech-Controller-Interfaces/product~dpno~7630311~pdp.faebggc

Drivers say Windows only.

Damnit. I might as well buy a drobo if the card alone costs like 200$. :|

Might as well just get any NAS or USB/Firewire drive enclosure than at that point.
