If you think $120-160 is cheap, I'm wondering if your company needs
more software engineers....

I have had good luck with Adaptec controllers in the past, and no
experience with Promise, but w.r.t. SATA I couldn't give you any
input.
FTR, my m/b only does SATA-I, and spent a little time looking for a
cheap PCI-SATA-II board (so I could run my SATA-II disks at full
transfer speed) but the cheapest one I found was $60-70, and if I'm
going to spend that much, I might as well get a new m/b that supports
SATA-II (they're cheaper!).
I know that's not much help - sorry. Hope someone else will have more info....
