I suppose, of all of the vendors, Adaptec probably has the best chance

Anyone know for sure ?

The Star Tech seems to work right, you plug in the disks and they're
recognized as regular sata disks, as if on your on-board controller. No
special modifications required.

Inconclusive. The Highpoint cards behave like that, too,
except they silently corrupt a sector (or more) on the drive
at every boot, whether or not one ever "configures" the drive
through the built-in RAID/JBOD BIOS.

Mark, I had swapped disks between controllers, ICH8, the marvel and SiI
3132 and never had any problems so is it safe to assume from that-- the
Star Tech controller did not place any metadata on the disks?
