The Marvell 7042 (PCIe) and 6042 (PCI) chips are very stable

The older 6081 and 6041 chips still have issues with Linux,
something I'm working on fixing early in 2009.
Cool, I think I'll go for that card then (Adaptec 1430SA). They're
x4, so good bandwidth, and i'll use the x16 slots on my board for
them. Only need one for now, but two eventually. And they're a good
price, at only £77 each.

Does the card 'recognize' disks as SATA or do you have to export them as
JBOD? The star tech card allows you to see the sata drives directly.
