SC1420 Adding new hard drive question

Hi,

I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1420 with x2 250GB SATA hard drive with a total of 500GB.
My question is, I want to add 2 more SATA hard drive in but not exactly sure how.

I know that the max is 1.0TB on the SC1420, but my machine have no more SATA connection left.
So, my last resort is to add an SATA card.

What SATA cards are compatible with the machine?
The OS right now is RHEL AS3.

Thanks.

    It looks like the system has these bus port intergrated on to the board...
     
    1 x4 PCI-E slot (x8 slot with x4 links)
    1 x8 PCI-E slot (x16 slot with x8 links)
    3 64-bit PCI-X slot
    1 PCI 2.2 slot
    With that in mind, this card should work. You can order this card from Dell by calling 1.800.357.3355:

    XD084 - CERC SATA 6 Channel Controller Card
     
    *****You will more than likely have to reinstall the OS since you are changing controllers. You may not, not sure.
