We're having a pretty lengthy discussion about these controllers on this list right now. I suggest you read the archives. Bottom line, the controller is supported, but it's problematic. The ATA maintainer has working controllers, but there are those of us that experience data corruption, and at least one user that can't use his drive at all when connected to said controller.
