Could you be more specific about the problems with 88SE9123,
especially with SATA ? I am in the process of setting up a system
with AD2SA6GPX1 HBA based on this chipset (at least according to the

The problems seem to be mostly with the PATA controller that's built in.
Regardless, Marvell no longer offers the 9123. Any vendor offering cards
based on it is probably using chips bought as surplus or for recycling.
I spent some time going through the past news about various motherboard
vendors delaying new products because of the PATA issue. According to
the Marvell PR there seems to be no issue with the SATA side of the
chip. Other than that (and the possible PCIe x1 scaling issue with SATA
III) there should be no problem with the card itself.
However, the card does not work in OpenSolaris yet because of:
