I would strongly recommend *not* using that SATA controller at all. Your problems with it aren't going to end once you get the install done. The driver from SuperMicro is not going to track the vendor kernel closely at all, so you'll be forced to not install kernel updates. Also, given that the driver isn't in the kernel, its performance and stability are unknown.
Well, you were right, the performance sucked. I will wait for the 3ware card to arrive.
