Not so well.  I was completely unable to get the card to work at all.
The motherboard's BIOS wouldn't even list the GC-RAMDISK during the
bus scan.  Solaris saw it, but couldn't talk to it:

Oct 20 12:50:54 fs2 ahci: [ID 632458 kern.warning] WARNING:
ahci_port_reset: port 1 the device hardware has been initialized and
the power-up diagnostics failed

The Supermicro 8-port SATA card's BIOS saw it, but Solaris reported
errors at boot time:

Oct 20 12:06:00 fs2 marvell88sx: [ID 748163 kern.warning] WARNING:
marvell88sx0: device on port 5 still busy after reset

I tried using it with the motherboard's Marvell-based eSATA ports, but
that made the POST hang for a minute or two and Solaris spewed errors
all over the console after boot.

I'm sending it back.
