Edit - wasn't that video but I think what you might want to look into is a PCI- SAS adapter.
Something like this maybe? link
I am not personally experienced but I believe you can put 4 SATA drives on each SAS adapter meaning that card would give you and extra 8x sata port. Here is a link to the cable: cable
Again this was like 20 min of research never tried this stuff make sure you know it'll work before you buy.
