Good eSATA PCI card

[MattHelm]

All,
I'm currently out of SATA ports on my machine, and they don't do eSATA correctly anyway, and all my PCI-e slots are in use, so I was wondering if any of you know of a good eSATA PCI card (want 2+ ports if I can). I've looked on Newegg, and none there get very good reviews. I really need the safely remove hardware thing to come up, as this will mainly be used for connecting portable drives used for backing up the system. I can use USB it I have to, I just don't like it compared to a working eSATA port.

I'm leaning towards this one:

I will gladly accept any other suggestions.

I use the Tempo SATA E4P and it has been rock solid. It requires a PCI Express x4 slot whereas cheaper cards are only x1. It's port multiplier-aware to support up to 20 drives (5 drives/port).

Note that it doesn't support hot-swapping in Windows. From the website:

SATA drive hot swapping is not supported in a desktop or server PC running Windows XP, Server 2003 or Vista. A SATA drive appears to the system as a not-removable hard drive and there is no mechanism in Windows to prepare the drive for removal.
