[tlug] Gentoo and serial ATA

[Jean-Christian Imbeault <jc@example.com>]

After all the posts mentioning ArchLinux and Gentoo I've decided to take 
the plunge and try my hand at Gentoo.

However I would like to use a new serial ATA HD I just purchased, a 
Western Digital WD360 (aka Raptor) that spins at 10,000 rpms. Does 
anyone know if Gentoo supports serial ATA?

Also my motherboard doesn't have a built-in serial ATA controller so I 
will need to buy a separate card. Does anyone have any experience with 
serial ATA PCI controller cards? Can anyone recommend a particular card?

Thanks,
