The SATA standard came to be around the time of Red Hat Linux 9.  It's
probable that Red Hat Linux 9 does not have a driver for a SATA host
controller.  So it's not really a driver for the drive but for the
host.

I recommend Ubuntu or it's flavors like Kubuntu for general computing.
 If you like Red Hat, go with Fedora or CentOS.  SUSE is also good for
general use.

What do you want to do with your new computer?
