I'm using a few "Promise PDC40718 SATA300 controller" with identical SATA300 drives and it seems to work well. My only gripe is the channels are misnumbered: port #1 maps to channel 3 port #2 maps to channel 1 port #3 maps to channel 0 port #4 maps to channel 2 I had to use the serial numbers to make sure I was writing on the correct drives, so that was annoying. -- Rick C.
