The Intel SASUC8I Is a pretty good deal. around 150 dollars for 8 sas/sata channels. This card is identical to the LSI SAS3081E-R for a lot less money. It doesn't come with cables, but this leaves you free to buy the type you need (in my case, i needed SFF-8087 - SFF-8087 cables, some people will need SFF-8087- 4 sata breakout cables...either way, cables run 12-20 dollars each (and each card needs 2) so you can tack that on to the price....These cards also work well with expanders.
They are based on LSI 1068e chip.
