I have one of these cards working in my file server system. Something I noticed is that while I had four drives hooked up to it, I ran into system freezes as well. The system console had some time out errors however. It is working well with just two 500 GB drives hooked up to it.

At first i thought it was a failed pci card, then the old bios. Now with a replacement card and updated bios, I tried to copy a hefty multi-Gb gzip file from an other disk to drive on the sata card and the machine is still hanging, hard: I have to switch it off. I just placed an order for 4.4. If this is resolved there I'll wait for it, but in the meantime any pointers would be appreciated. dmesg > OpenBSD 4.3 (netatalk) #0: Sun May 18 21:32:08 CEST 2008 > [EMAIL
