One thing to check before you blame your controller: Are the SATA cables close together for an extended length?
Basically, most SATA cables will generate massive levels of cross-talk between them if they're tied together or a run parallel in close proximity for a part of their run-length. I friend found this sort of problem a couple of months ago and it was cured by separating the cables.
