It's also possible that they're supported by your chipset, but not your
motherboard manufacturer.

I had a couple older motherboards that were identical, except that one
had two SATA ports, the other had four. As it turns out, the chipset
was identical, both chipsets supported four ports, they simply didn't
put the connectors for the second two SATA ports on the less expensive
motherboard.
