Thanks to everyone so far with the chipset recommendations.
I've done a lot of reading and the best value I can find so far is this...
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/highpoint-rocketraid-640-%28rr640%29-4-channel-
internal-pci-e-20-x4-to-sata-6gb-s-raid-controller-card#ProductFeatures - for
probably £100 delivered.
For the price, I'm thinking PCI-e x4 - four internal 6Gb/s SATA 3 connectors,
connect two of them to the outside world with the e-sata connector plates that
a few people have suggested. That still leaves me with some more connectors
should I later decide to up the PSU power and add some more drives.
Unless anyone has a better idea?
Michelle.
