1. Vantec eSataSata II - 150 PCI Host Card UGTST300 in Canada at TigerDirect.ca

2. Vantec SATA PCI Host Card UGT-ST200 in Canada at TigerDirect.ca

I don't personally have experience with Vantec, but it came down to Vantec products for a IDE-USB adapter I ordered and another company, and I went with the other company. The customer reviews for the Vantec product were garbage. It doesn't look like tigerdirect has a large selection for PCI-SATA. The key is to find a PCI-SATA with a VIA 6421 chipset, that chipset is compatible with all known 360 DVD-ROM drives.

Man... I can't find the chipset on that thing anywhere, the official Vantec site offers nothing. I would try to find another site which ships to Canada that has a better selection of PCI-SATA cards.

Here's a link with some results for Canadian sites: Buy Cheap PCI SATA - Price Comparison - Canada

Well neither, not without knowing chipset they have. The relevant point for flashing the 360 is finding a compatible chipset. Try searching through the link I posted:
