Hey guys, I'm cooking up a modular Linux PC, and the easiest option for storage modularity would be external SATA. The problem is I'm looking at a motherboard with only one PCI slot. Are there SATA cards with more than one external port? It would be cool to have 4, but 2 would be enough. Also, might there be SATA extension cables that would take the SATA off the mainboard and onto a mounting bracket (a la rear USB expansion bracket included with many Gigabyte motherboards)?
