I'm using a few "Promise PDC40718 SATA300 controller" with identical
SATA300 drives and it seems to work well. My only gripe is the channels
are misnumbered:
port #1 maps to channel 3
port #2 maps to channel 1
port #3 maps to channel 0
port #4 maps to channel 2
I had to use the serial numbers to make sure I was writing on the correct
drives, so that was annoying.
