So I am getting real near to adding a couple more hard drives to my desktop and I am running out of sata ports to plug into and was hoping someone can offer a little advice or opinions about some products.
My desktop is a little bit of everything. I use it mainly as a server. I host all my media content that serves two TVS in my apartment, I also use it as a Web, Database server, a little gaming here and there and lastly I do a little bit of programming.

A) Any speed penalty if I go with a PCI-E Controller card?
Is there any cons at all going this route?
C) Anything more reliable or better then this?
D) What if I have multiple Controller cards?
