I currently have 4 harddrives installed in my computer, 3 of which are SATA, the 4th is IDE (this one isn't actually plugged in right now.) I also have a SATA BluRay drive, making 4 SATA connections, which uses all of my motherboard's available ports. I'm quickly running out of storage space (imagine that,) and am looking into a PCI SATA card.
I've found a few that have external ports, but I need then to be internal. Can anyone recommend me a decent, affordable SATA expansion card with at least 2 internal ports. RAID capabilities might be nice, but it isn't something I'm looking at using just yet, so it isn't a requirement. I also understand that I'll need a more powerful PSU, I'm looking at an 800W with modular cables to reduce clutter. Right now I'm using a 500W.
Also, I know someone might want to suggest external drives. I'd like to stay away from them, I've just never liked external drives and the last thing I need is something else to clutter up my desk.
So, does anyone have any suggestions?
