Recently upgraded to a core2 solution, which of course only has one on board PATA controller, and most of my drives are still PATA and not SATA. I'm using a Promise PATA adapter, but would love to find some kind of solution that uses PCI-E so I can actually get a video card that takes up two slots and not have to decide which of my three PCI devices gets to go. I haven't been able to find one yet, so I'm not sure if any are out. I would just get two PATA to SATA adapters, but I have no room in my case to use them since the drivers face the side of the case and there is only an inch gap or so.

I would be interested to know if a PCI-E PATA controller is available too.

ps PCI-X is a different standard. Unless you have a PCI-X capable motherboard you dont want a controller for it!
 
Opps, yeah, messed those two up. Too bad that card only supports two extra drives, would need to get two of them to equal what the one pci card can do, but i'll work for now. Thanks!
