Default SSD controller option?
Has anyone seen/used one of these?

Desktop SSD & HDD Upgrade Kits - Products

If so any comments?

Would like to add SSD for boot drive but am out of SATA controller slots on the motherboard.

Not interesting if they don't support TRIM

How about getting a Card that Adds Sata ports in PCI-e and then putting you SSD on the main Sata ports of the board?

Just as a thought,

Well as near as I can tell they do support TRIM. I had also looked at a SATA port card but they are all either slower PCIe x1 slot cards, or RAID cards and cost $$$. My motherboards ports are all SATA II so unless I want to go with something Like a Crucial V4, it would be a bit of a waste/overkill.
