I read with some alarm about trouble with SuperMicro servers and ATA, because that is my new box. I'll chime in a data point saying that I have not seen any errors with the SuperMicro 1U and my 250G Western Digital SATA drives:On Wed, Jan 19, 2005 at 09:36:05PM -0600, Karl Denninger wrote:
What 'other vendor' have you found that makes RELIABLE SATA disks in the high capacity (e.g. 200-300gb) arena?
WD now makes a SATA RAID line. HIGHLY recommended by 3ware.

The vendor (ASA) were initially reluctant to send me this box because they were keen to issues with FreeBSD's SATA chipset compatability, but I did some research and convinced them not to fret.
I am saving money and probably some hassle by replacing 3ware with gmirror. My cheat sheet is posted at http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/24/freebsd-howto-gmirror-system/ .
