As you can see i have now edited the last post as it is a maxtor (my favourite drives) until they where bought out) SATA 1 drive. The interesting thing is the highest scoring drive is a sata 1 drive. Will have to try that drive on the new controller. But heres the good bit if your chipset is not supported this is the cheapest (that I know of) way to have OSX bootable on any controller. If you have a sata drive but no kext for your chipset for just £17 you can be up and running. Also it doesnt cause a big delay in boot if a drives connected you only just get chance to see the bios screen. So i feel £17 for unhacked sata 1 & 2 drive support with official drivers good investment. Better than buyin a new motherboard *8O)
