Can you define "works"?

Is NCQ important? PCI, PCI-e?

I wouldn't get that card regardless, it only supports 1.5GB/S. Some of those chips have issues auto-negotiating with SATA 3GB/S drives. Unfortunately linux-ata.org is no longer up, that had great info on chip support for NCQ. Maybe waybackmachine it!

I purchased this card a while back.  I have yet to build my NAS with it,
due to $ for drives not available....

I has good Linux support and and comes with two SATA cables and pwr
adapters for 30 bucks shipped....Good Deal

Anyone have recommendations on a 4 port sata controller card that works
well in linux?  Raid will all be in software, so no need for fancy stuff
on the card.

Thanks in advance,
