Does CentOS 4 work well with SATA drives?
Or should I build the system using IDE/PATA disks?
I'm looking for stability more than speed.
Thanks

Well, I currently have several SATA boxes here, ranging from custom built, HP, Dell and 1 with 3ware SATA, and everything works fine for me.

There is a chance your hardware is made of some obscure matter so that CentOS 4 kernel doesn't like it, but usually SATA and SATA2 are recognized automatically in the installation. Some hardware are not recognized automatically, so that you must use a floppy disk driver in CentOS installation (correct me if I'm wrong), but I have only heard about that (never happened to me). Some hardware are just not compatible with CentOS. I guess most are compatible.
Mine is SATA2 on chipset from ICH7 family (motherboard Intel 945GNT), and CentOS installation chose the driver/module ata_piix for it. Just worked out of the box.
My HP DL142G2 with SATA drives worked fine.
