I thought about getting a controller with a SiL-Chil too because they are kinda cheap and another system I intend to use with SATA harddisks has no SATA on-board. But then I searched through the web and read many posts telling me "stay away from Silicon Image controllers" so I did as advised.... I got a Promise SATA300 TX2plus instead. I'll rune some tests with later (when I'm back home ;))
