High gigabyte drives don't need controller cards...unless you make them out of smaller drives, via a RAID array. Like mine. I have three 250 GB Maxtors, hooked to a PCI card that makes them act like one 500 GB hard drive.

Runs a little hot, though...I need to come up with a good cooling solution.

Really, I need to use network storage instead of so much internal, but for now, I'm content with what I've got.
