It has 1 onboard VIA and 2 PCI Promise controllers and a total of 6 disks attached (every disk on its own cable). I kept the BIOS versions of the Promise controllers up to date all the time. All disks are running automagically - without passing kernel options - on their max possible UDMA transfer rate, and even the 160Gb LBA48 disk is behaving fine. The disks are in constant heavy use as fileserver for 500+ clients. With respect to IDE, the system is rock solid for a long time now, and I have never ever seen even a little bit of data corruption.
