[Cialug] Sata Controller

[Josh More]

Do not get the low-end Adaptec SATA cards.  While their high-end stuff
is good for servers, the quality does not trickle down.

I got mine working, but it required manually patching (i.e., patch (1)
failed) and building a custom kernel.
As this was intended to be a hands-off data store, I was most upset.

3ware is good, and well worth the extra $.

We use only the 3ware cards and have been very happy with them.
