I've been burned by Sata not working on an Asus motherboard (nVidia / nForce) and need to select something that will work for a fairly light duty web/mail/sql server. How do I go about finding out if a specific motherboard will work with sata software raid and Centos 4.4 (or 5.x when it's settled down).
Instead of buying a motherboard, you can add a SATA controller card. I have a Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI card ($55) and set up software RAID1 on CentOS 4.

But there is a thread about some failures with promise sata cards on 5.0, so you might look further, or find a sata card with a different chipset.
