I think this is a .... misprint, really.

 

We've had one customer recently reporting that they used this chipset (the ASMedia ASM1061) with an 8 bay enclosure without issues (it was a "DataOPTIC" card specifically, IIRC). 

 

However, I absolutely understand not wanting to chance it.

And if that is the case, then a HighPoint RocketRAID card (not Rocket, it has to be RocketRAID, even if you don't use the "RAID" part) will work for this.
