Hi, I was looking for a bootable SATA PCI controller but couldn't fine one, also most of them are not bootable anyway.
But there is a good solution out there, a simple small SATA to PATA adapter that cost me just 9 euros. It fits on the SATA hard disk and presto! It's just like a big fast ATA disk. The stated 2 or 3 GB per second performance of SATA disks is impossible anyway. That speed will only be reached in burst mode when data is read directly from the cache of the disk and that cache is mostly 32 MB IIRC. Now I have an extra fast 1 TB disk for the price of a standard 500 GB ATA one. Works for me ... Regards, Jörg.
