8 Drive first Attempt....with only 4 SATA connectors in MB

Newbie here......so I have successfully installed DSM 6.1.5-15254 Update 1into an older GIGA G41TM-43 motherboard, which only has SATA ports...so far just running (2) 1TB 3.5 drives. So my question is, looking at the compatible hardware page http://xpenology.me/compatible/. if I add a 4 port PCI-e controller, would I have any problems having a total of 8 drives? or does all HDD must have the same controller? Thanks in advance

Considering what is shown in your screenshot, you are using Jun's loader in which case referring to that website is pointless. That compatibility list was done for DSM 5.2 (XPEnoboot) so it is totally irrelevant in your case.
