Re: eSATA CONTROLLER So which chipset should I be looking for or which should I not consider? I always buy the wrong one and wind up have to buy two. I really don't plan on using raid, just want to be able to use esata like a fast usb drive.

I really don't plan on using raid, just want to be able to use esata like a fast usb drive. With mainstream generic/cheap controllers, the only chipset you're going to find is Silicon Image.
The specific Silicon Image chipset to avoid is the 311x series. The 3112 in specific is a pile of *bleep*, but other subrevisions may behave the same.
