Promise or Highpoint IDE card?

[Brian Chase]

I disagree, the first upgrade you do with your kernel, you won't see the 
hard drive, stay away from Promise products with Linux, they admit they 
have poor or no support for Linux and are software RAID.

Here's a good blurb on SATA adapters, a little off topic, but relevant to 
support and general Linux compatibility.
