Hi All,
I have a server that is IDE drives and I dont have any so I wanted to put in a sata PCI card.
Will CentOS be able to see the drives as they will be connected to the card?

My CentOS systems are all using SATA drives. All worked out of the box, though I did use software RAID rather than the hardware RAID.
If the SATA controller is supported then CentOS will be able to see the drives. You might have a look at http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html

*Some* SATA controllers (at least NV's ahci on-board ones) seem to need the irqpoll kernel option to work.

That's certainly the goal! :-) In addition to the linux-ata link already mentioned, you might review this CentOS mailing list thread about cards:
