When I searched for PCI SATA controllers some time ago, I found out Promise SATA
300 was best supported in Linux. sata_promise driver is marked as "production"
in the sata status pages.
Most of the other PCI SATA controllers are based on marvell chipset, but the
Linux driver for marvell is still beta :(
I'm successfully using Promise SATA 300 with Seagate drives, no problems so
far. *knocking wood*
