I am looking for a cost-effective way to add a SATA drive to an existing 7.0 system whose on-board controller is PATA, and am not getting very far at all in identifying an inexpensive controller which would be expected to work well. (I'd prefer PCI, since the USB in this box is probably 1.0 and not capable of sustaining desirable data rates.) All mentions of SATA in the hardware guide and FAQ seem to be of RAID controllers, or else too generic to guide a choice of add-in cards. Does anyone have any experience with this that they would be inclined to share?
