all my sata ports on the motherboard has been used by drives , i need an expansion card , pcie/pci to sata expansion card .
it need to have at least 2 sata port which can be used together .

Does anyone know about it ? I do not want super expensive card with raid support , just plain vanilla will do , i want to connect backup drives to them .
Please list the name and brand of card if you can .

didn't get you buddy. You cannot directly connect your SATA HDD to PCI Express slots by using any connector. You need to purchase Add On PCI Express or PCI based SATA adapter card for it. The card will offer you multiple SATA connector.
