SATA support for Linux is still maturing. There are some chipsets (e.g.
NForce4) which still doesn't have decent SATA support in Linux. NCQ etc
have also yet to mature. If you're going to have them placed in a RAID
configuration, you can go for hardware RAID solutions (a good list of
compatible cards can be found online) or Linux's much faster software
RAID.
