Hi Ryan,

Linux detects SATA drives as SCSI.

Generally your sata controller and the drives should be automatically 
detected, unless you use the so called "hardware" RAID /fakeraid feature 
of some of the onboard SATA controllers.
Though most of the controllers are natively supported and detected, 
there might be a few which are not supported/poorly supported.
Telling us which controller you have would me more helpful.
