I'd prefer to not use the little tiny PCI-e slot but rather one of the larger Scalable Link Interface slots. But that's just a preference based on where they are on the board and the fact that I have three of those open and only one of the littler PCI-e slots.
REALLY, I need a good card that will let me read my older IDE drives

I bought a SYBA SI-PEX40059 But the thing would not see my drives no matter how I jumpered them. ARRGGGGHHHH

Anyway got a card you like?
RAID is not important as the main board already can run a RAID array

When I built my current PC 18 months ago, I got one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YMJ6ZE
To connect and read old IDE drives.

That quickly went by the wayside.

A 2TB SATA drive, and a SATA-IDE dock....copy the data over to the new SATA drive and move on.
