I've already suggested the range of LSI Logic boards to fit various IO scenarios. Now, if what he really wants is just a bunch of SATA ports then I am at a loss, my 2U servers tend to use SAS or FC (or ni older boxes, SCSI) storage. The Marvell SATA chips have a problem-prone history. I've used SIL stuff on desktops, but i don't think they are server grade.
