Hey everyone, I'm stuck at a crossroads right now. My main Athlon 1.2 Ghz workstation with a Promise UDMA5/100 controller is probably on its last legs before retirement (its given me 3 years of loyal service -- looking to squeeze out 2 more). Seeing as it needs a new harddrive anyway, I'm really wondering whether paying an extra $20-$25 per harddrive and an another $70 for a Silicon Image Serial ATA Controller [1] is worth it. LKML posts also seem to give the general impression that overall SATA driver support under Linux is still preliminary.
