FWIW, i've bee using a Firmtek seritek 1s2 internal card for the last 5-6 years with 1 and 2 tb Sata 1 drives and a 3 tb WD SATA III drive. Using a PPC Gigabit Ethernet (Mystic) running 10.4.11 . Had to partition the WD 3 tb into a 1 and 2 tb section from an external case before I could format it natively. YMMV
