Hey Everyone,

I'm looking at getting a Seagate External 500GB Sata Drive, they come with a
Promise ESata300 TX2 PCI controller.
Has anyone had success running these under linux?

FYI the part number is ST3500601XS-RK and the prices are still dropping, I
purchased 2 ( for windows boxes ) and they were a bargain around $300, and
not they are in the $250 zone.

Thanks!

Joey
