Seeking SATA controller recommendation

[Low Roller]

I had my WHS 2011 box and need to add more SATA ports. I'd consider a good RAID card but most decent ones are very expensive. Running the card in JBOD mode + Stablebit Drive Pool should meet my needs.

The SATA controller card I'm looking at is a Highpoint RocketRAID 2680SGL.

At about $135 including the mini-SAS to SATA, the price fits easily within my budget. I'm willing to look at other options as well even if they are somewhat more expensive. I'm just not really interested in dropping $1K on a RAID card for my WHS.

Thoughts and suggestions welcome, thanks!

Just buy the M1015 and flash it to 9211.IT mode for JBOD. Great 8 port card you can find on ebay for ~$70
