it appears that ESX is happy enough with some of the SATA controllers that
use the SCSI driver.

That page lists that a "Adaptec 2610SA" and the "Dell Cerc 1.5/6ch" cards
are compatible as far as the installer goes.  The Adaptec/Dell card are
fairly cheap on eBay - anywhere from $80 to $150 - and are a true hardware
RAID from what I can tell.

Now for my question...

Does anyone have a server with either of those cards installed that I
could persuade to boot off of the ESX iso install image (note 1) and see
if it complains about the HDDs or continues?
