Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone could make mention of a decent basic sata card 
(not raid).  Disk is cheap but my old dell p4 (600sc) doesn't have an 
onboard 
controller.  I see a list of supported chipsets here 
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.4R/hardware-i386.html#DISK but I'm more 
asking for a brand-name controller (even a more-or-less generic one like 
Promise or something similar) that people have used and liked.  Opinion 
counts a bit more to me here than saying "it's supported".

Any thoughts?

-Dan
