I've been using SATA drives since Breezy, but the last two systems I've built had Intel motherboards. I have heard problems occasionally with various chipsets. Ironically, I ran into an issue with good-old IDE in the last system I built last weekend (a dual-core server with a relatively recent motherboard using the 965 Express chipset), while the SATA part worked fine. I can't make any promises, but in general they have worked for me. -Eamonn -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
