X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 01 Feb 2006 15:22:24 -0000 Hi, being quite fed up with the crappy Sil3512 SATA-controller on my mainboard (write_dma timeouts, and just when I thought 6.0-release fixed it, "setfeatures set transfer mode semaphore timeout"-messages is filling my screens), I'm looking after good replacements. Browsing the web and the mailing list archives, Promise cards have been praised. I could get my hands on a SATAII150 TX2plus, anyone having good/bad experiences with such a card? To anyone new reading these lists, stay the heck out of Silicon Image chips, especially the 3112 and 3512. But anyone hanging out on the mailing lists for longer knows that already. --Ville
