Hi there,
I’m trying to build a home made NAS/SAN server using Centos 4. I have
an old HP ML series server with support for IDE disks only.
So I thought that I could by some pci sata controller to use sata
disks that are cheaper and faster than IDE’s.
My question is , does anyone have used the Conceptronic PCI Sata Card
sucefully in CentOS ? The pci card is called Serial ATA & IDE Combo
Card ou CSATACOMBO, with more information at

Based on the picture, it appears to use some sort of VIA chipset. I'm
not sure of the level of support for those in Linux. Most of the cheap
SATA cards are based on the Silicon Image chips which are well
supported. Also note, that the card you specified has 2 SATA ports, but
one of them is external (for a device outside of the PC case).
Cheers,
