I need a PCIe card that will handle 4-8 SATA drives for use in a full tower case. I'm not seeing very many choices anymore. I have a cheapy 4 port card that only seems to work on 2 of the ports and doesn't secure the SATA cables very well.

I'd like something better. I suppose SAS cards are the next step, especially if I want 8 ports. I have the PCIe slot available (8X).

This is for local storage that is backed up on a NAS. I currently have 5 hard drives and two DVD drives and I'd like room to grow.

Any recommendations? I'd like to stay below $150 if possible. I know that makes it more difficult. Used?

I haven't had to buy anything like this for over 10 years so I'm a bit in the dark these days. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
