Gene, I don't know why you think you need 16 SATA ports. Also, this
card ships from China, and 3 to 31 days shipping may be optimistic.
I can tell you I have done very well with this two port card and the
four SATA ports already on board my motherboard.

Or you may prefer the four port version.
I also recommend you use the software RAID built in to the Linux kernel.
Hardware RAID tends to be proprietary, which means you are stuck with
that line of card should your card die on you. And Murphy help you
getting updates if it's buggy.
