I would certainly expect so. I have a Gigabyte GA-7DX with the infamous VIA
686B southbridge...and an SBLive! Value...and I have no IDE devices at all
(complete SCSI). I have never encountered data corruption.

Just out of curiosity...is this IBM drive a 75GXP model? What does IBM's
Drive Fitness Test tell you about it? I ask because the 75GXP is IMHO a
flawed product line.
