Well, the Supermicro board I pointed to when I started this thread:

> 2x SUPERMICRO AOC-SAT2-MV8 64-bit PCI-X133MHz SATA Controller Card ($99)

...is cheap because (I assume) it doesn't try to do hardware RAID,
and it has 8 ports.

I don't know of any other such boards with 8 or more ports, though
I haven't searched exhaustively.
