Looking for an inexpensive pci-e SATA controller for FreeBSD 8.2

I need a reasonably priced PCI-E controller for my Via Epia NAS project.

The motherboard I will be using has only 2 SATA ports, and would require at
least 2 more.

Due to where I live (Finland) my options are very limited. Currently I've
managed to find two manufacturers with reasonably priced products: DeLock and
Promise.

These two devices would be perfect
- DeLock SX-109A: http://www.jimmspc-store.fi/tuote/SX-109A
- Promise FastTrak TX2650: http://www.jimmspc-store.fi/tuote/PROM-202

Do these work with FreeBSD 8.2? And if they do, which driver do they use?

I've already browsed thru the hardware notes and googled my ass off without
finding any sure facts. So if anyone knows if these two would work, please do tell.

Other suggestions also appreciated.
