Greetings,
I have a couple PCI controllers that work fine. I have SCSI controllers that work too. I believe hard drive controllers work at the hardware level, so they should all work in Linux as far as I know. Before the operating system is started, the controller has already picked up the drives so it presents to the operating system as any hard drive would. You might have to change settings in your bios to get your boot order right after installing a drive to it.
One nice way to avoid hardware issues in Linux is have more then one option. It might work, but you could have trouble at first or in certain combinations. If a PCI card will work, you can probably find one on ebay for a few bucks which would give you an alternative just in case. But most likely it will work.
Sometimes controller cards can be funny about which connection will boot, and you might not be able to boot from one drive or the other unless you swap connections, but I think newer hardware probably doesn't have that issue.
Make sure and read the manual pdf on it. It's probably got it's own bios that you can tweak on.
Thanks for posting and thanks all.
Be real, be sober.
