Thanks to all who responded.
Red face time.
I just checked Tiger Direct--they have several SATA cards from $20
to $60. Any particular brand you recommend to a) use or b) stay
away from?

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

I have a promise pci 4 port sata3 card. These work ok, so long

put a raid-5 array on it. There used to be (2 years or so ago)
a fairly rare

the problem
applies to other raid types or not, nor whether the problem
has been fixed.
