Dani definitely does support SATA-II controllers - at least it works with
the Nforce4 SATA-II controllers on my Asus A8N-e.

Speaking of the PATA to SATA adapters - is there any benefit to running
PATA devices through the SATA bus?

I currently have the following ATA devices:
- SATA hard drive
- PATA hard drive
- PATA DVD writer

The motherboard has 4 SATA ports so conceivably I could connect
everything via SATA using adapters....

Cheers,

Paul.
