[G4] SATA/eSATA PCI controller

[Charles Williams]

Hi Chaps,

I would like  to install two 500GB SATA drives in a RAID1 set-up 
using OSX's software RAID. I understand that OSX's software RAID1 
solution is somewhat slower than a hardware card, but the difference 
in speed between a SATA RAID1 software implementation and a single 
(P)ATA  drive on the native bus should still fall in favour of the 
SATA drives, right?

I have a few questions.

Can I boot from the SATA drive/ PCI controller?

Can I get a SATA PCI card that will support 2 internal SATA drives 
and 1 eSATA drive?

What should I get?


Regards,

Charles
