I've been mostly lurking here for awhile now, just seeing how things
are going. I've seen various drives on a blacklist, and various
controllers that do this or that well, but have problems doing foo.
There also seem to have been a Strange Interaction as well, but that's a
fuzzy memory at best.
So, my question is: if YOU were to purchase an SATA setup brand new,
what would you specify? Which drives, motherboards, and PCI cards would
you recommend that just work?
I don't even mean "work like a Mercedes", by which I mean almost
perfection. I mean like a Chevy. I don't mind a little tinkering to
get it right, but I want my disk subsystem to be solid thereafter! I've
got important stuff here! Like my wife's backup; NEVER lose your wife's
backup (shudder)!
If SATA isn't ready for consumerdom, I'd like to know that too. This
just isn't for Jeff and Bart either. I'd like to hear success stories
from those whose systems just hum along all the time!
Thanks in advance!
