External SATA enclosures: SiI3124 and CentOS 5?

[Benjamin Smith <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tired of "little problems" trying to keep 7 drives working in an old desktop computer, I'm considering an external SATA drive enclosure with a controller card based on the Sil3124.

I'm a bit concerned about long-term support, namely that the company's driver page only lists drivers through RedHat 4.

Does anybody else have experience with this controller? How has it been for you?

If you have experience with an external SATA enclosure(s), what did you use and how did it work for you?

Thanks,

Ben
