Off topic PC question

I have a Side by Side Cube Server box loaded with 6 SATA DVD-Burners I'm using as my primary recording machine. I want to run the Burners without eating up all the SATA port on the Motherboard (There aren't enough anyway) Does anyone know of a SATA card that has at least 4 or more ports that would work? I don't need RAID or anything special, I just need to run the Burners....any suggestions? (Oh, it can be PCI OR PCI-e...doesn't matter)

If I understand you right, there's plenty of these cards out there. The price depends on whether you need external contacts or not, and the speed, but I found a bunch on ebay searching for "PCIe 4 SATA"

Yeah, I found a couple that would work on Tiger Direct. I need all internal connectors, and no special RAID options (might be nice later, but....), and that was messing with me at first. :)
