6-8 drives with serial ata?

[EvilKokonut]

my boss wants a backup server with 6-8 serial ata drives... are there any kind of controller cards that can work together to power these?

Look at 3Ware controllers...I think Adaptec might have some too, but 3Ware is considered to be better.

3ware is good, adaptec may be cheaper.

this "multi lane connector" concept is very interesting.
