Which Serial-ATA card are you using? Do you get decent performance? Is it stable with DMA enabled? Do you use the 2.4 or 2.6 kernel? I know this much: It doesn't work with Silicon Image. It doesn't work with VIA (yet, anyway). It might work with HighPoint. It probably works with Promise. I don't know if there's a driver for Adaptec. In case I have to replace my Silicon Image card, what should I replace it with? I'm currently leaning towards Promise TX4 (or TX2 if the VIA driver is completed). Lots of thanks, /Basic
