Re: Recommendations for supported 4-port SATA PCI card ?

[Mike Hardy <mhardy@h3c.com>]

Addonics adst114 was the cheapest one I've found that works. I found it
for $41 at thenerds.net but you may be better at the price searching
than me.

It's a Silicon Images 3114 chip, driven by the sata_sil driver

I honestly don't recall if it was out-of-the-box working on FC4, but the
updated kernels drive it fine, and FC5 (with 2.6.16+) should be fine
with it.
