Cheap SATA cards that work with ESXi 5.5?

I'm thinking of either getting a dirt cheap SATA PCIe card to run the boot/datastore drive and passing my onboard ICH10DO through to a VM, or using the onboard ICH10DO to run the boot/datastore drive and passing through the PCIe SATA controller. Since it seems the SIL3132 is no longer compatible with ESXi, what alternatives are there?

Hi Faize,

I'm using an HP SmartArray P400 controller which supports up to 8 disks!

Cheers,

René
