I was curious if anyone here is using any serial ATA drives on this controller. If so, what kind of performance does it have? Is it worth the extra money I would have to spend or should I wait until the technology is more mature? Thanks for any input. -- Glenn Johnson USDA, ARS, SRRC Phone: (504) 286-4252 New Orleans, LA 70124 e-mail: gjohnson@srrc.ars.usda.gov
