Nothing specific, but I would strongly recommend a well-known brand, like LSI.
Normally, I'd agree, especially if this was for a high performance server, but I don't believe LSI has any plain SATA adapters, just SAS HBA's that support SATA, and most newer ones require pci-express 4-lane slots, older ones were PCI-X 64bit, its been along time since they had anything suitable for 32bit PCI
For a 32bit parallel PCI 33Mhz slot, the SiL stuff previously mentioned is probably the best choice. cheap, and they work well enough, even if they aren't at the bleeding edge of performance (you can overwhelm 32 bit PCI with a single 1.5Gbps SATA transfer, nothing can get around that).
here's a typical SiL card. http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Converter-Silicon-Sil3114-Chipset/dp/B008BZB29E (note that vendor ships from Hong Kong) here's a US shipper, http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=104&cp_id=10407&cs_id=1040702&p_id=2667&seq=1&format=2 -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
