99% : not possible

you need a sil controller or one of the higher level products (like rocketraid) on a pciE slot

This controller should be supported by the usual VIA controller kexts, however no guarantee at all.

You can see here that a user has VT6420 detected during boot, yours is VT6421 but it uses the same driver. You could contact him to know more about the support.

so i'm understanding he had no problems booting the hdd in the first time and install on it the osx right? 'cause the drivers are loaded by it self and this is not the kind of drivers in need to install by myself.
am i right?

thanks!

i see it sold out, so this is basically the same thing right?

Yes, it's the chip that matters.
