Does anyone have any experience with one of these:

or
http://www.centrix-intl.com/details.asp?productid=9759&gclid=CKnVjIbWrLYCFaiiPAodSxcAdg
I'm building an HTPC and would like to dedicate all my SATA ports to HDDs (using the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe, which only has 4 SATA connections).
It has 8 USB ports, which I will never use.
Worst case, with USB 2.0 I'm looking at being limited to a 4X Blu-Ray drive (54Mbps x 4 = 216Mbps, with USB 2.0 rated at 280 Mbps effective thruput).
But I haven't tried anything like this before. Does anyone have any experience. Any pitfalls with this configuration?
Thanks!

Update - the first link won't work for what I'm trying to accomplish. It looks like the 2nd link (centrix) has the conversion from SATA to USB.
