My local supplier has started doing some SATA cards....

http://www.ivmm.com/eio/products_sata_pci_host.html


The chip on the board i the screenshot looks vaguely like a Silicon Image
chip - - am I correct in thinking that these are supported in linux?

If they are Silicon Image, yes, they are supported.


Great stuff - can someone confirm whether I still need to do the folloing for the latest 2.4.22 kernels in order to get good performance?

# hdparm -d1 -X66 /dev/hdX
# echo "max_kb_per_request:15" > /proc/.ide/hdX/settings


I have no idea :( I'm off in libata land, which will soon support Silicon Image SATA as well...
