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.
