Proliant DL380 G5, PCIe Sata Card

[SHA33]

Hi there, 

I was wondering if i could buy a generic PCI-express Sata CARD (simple card with 2 Sata ports, no raid or anything) and stick it in the proliant PCI slot in the riser. WIll it be recognized by windows? Any generic consumer type PCIe Sata card will work or does it have to be server type?

I'm just Looking to add a 8TB HDD Sata in this server,as i'musingit for 4K Movies storage.

Thanks
