The VIA SATA onboard controller on my server works (and has worked)
flawlessly.  I have two identical 80G Maxtor SATA drives connected to it
and have had absolutely no problems and excellent performance.  Even my
Dell Inspirion 5100--with a few hiccups--has made great progress and is
mostly functional.
