Ops, wrong one I suggested, I meant to suggest the 4-port version I edited the post to change it. Not knowing the equipment OP will be using I went with highest compatibility and native ports are also more stable. Virtual ports may be prone to switching port numbers upon reboot.
I couldn't even find the product brand of the one you suggested. Using a generic product for work onboard a ship doesn't sound like a reliable solution to me. No offense but I was in the Navy and sea spray and salt gets everywhere on a small ship (still realizing I have no idea of OPs application). Cheap electronics and connectors quickly corrode and get buildup that reduces connectivity and reliability.
OP bring spares cards and cables as well as a brass wire brush, alcohol wipes, and dielectric grease. OP could be perfectly fine with cheaper solutions and it could work for a long time, but I tend to side with caution when replacement parts won't be easily accessible.
Here is a cheap PCIe 4 port solution for only $27. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TLT95K/
