According to page 7 of the

Hmm, that's a nice feature set. Here is hoping everyone will consider
switching to that, and that no one screws it up and makes a mostly but
not quite compliant version.
For example, Silicon Image 3124 also looks good on paper, but only
supports up to 4 ports.
Yeah, I know, but because of their real 'hardware' raid, these cards are
three times more expensive per port. And I just need JBOD.
Really? How much does a 24 port areca card cost? Is it 12 times the
cost of a two port promise card?
about $1400 for pci-x or $1900 pci-express.
you might try the promise sataII-150 sx8 which is 8 ports per card and is
about $200
I haven't looked at the prices lately.
The jump to a full-on sata raid controller is pretty steep.
