It has onboard PATA and I'd like to throw some SATA drives in and get an SATA backplane for it (machine has hot swap bays, it's missing any sort of backplane). I'll need to put some kind of SATA controller in there. What can I buy that's known to be very stable under 6.2? I recall that in the past some onboard SATA controllers were a little sketchy... Thanks, Charles
