The problem I referred to was with software/linux raid and raw drives on the promise controller. Just to be clear.

As you said they seem to work fine as standalone (no raid) drives.

I have never  liked promise raid, too flaky. but as just raw drives

I have a promise sata1 cars with two ports on it.

I have a promise pci 4 port sata3 card. These work ok, so long as you don't
put a raid-5 array on it. There used to be (2 years or so ago) a fairly rare
problem with software raid and these cards. I don't know if the problem
applies to other raid types or not, nor whether the problem has been fixed.
