Finding a vt-d compatible motherboard (with real compatibility) is a pain, also i need a lot of pci-express ports for controlers cards/gpu etc, and i would need at least 9 sata ports.
I'm not really willing to spend money on a motherboard i will drop in 4months top (kubylake) and not sure it would be cheaper, i found the hp card for 149euros.

Upating this, seems that this card : http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/server-host-bus-adapters/product-detail.html?oid=6995464
is compatible (saw a user running it with fedora 22 on amazon).
Dell does not have any card with internal connectors.
Waiting for other manufacturers to answer my mails.

I think i misunderstood what you guys said about jbod (my fault for reading quickly), i talked about the jbod feature, not a hardware piece.
My disks are sitting in my desktop, if i buy an external storage for the disks i might as well build a nas, which is what i do not want, i'm looking for internal connection not external.

was crawlking lsi and highpoint cards, cards between 200 to 300+$$, not really what i call cheaper stuff that's aimed at Winblows users ;)

Why not replace the motherboard for one with more connectors? That could very well prove to be a much simpler and cheaper route. Supermicro for example boards with 8 SATA3 ports on the chipset....
