I'm looking for recommendations for a 6 or 8 port SATA hardware raid

Over the years I've been fond of RAID adapters from LSI Logic (now
bought by Broadcom) [1] and Intel [2].
They have good support, nice and clean internal software used to manage
arrays and settings.
However, depending on what your goals are, they could be an overkill for
a desktop PC and you might be better look for HBA (Host Bus Adapter) to
connect disks in JBOD (pass-through mode) and use software RAID
solutions supported by OS of your choice.
