When I had a problem, it was a combination of a SATA 2 disk with a bigger capacity than the MOBO Bios could support, and MOBO running SATA 1 with the disk on SATA 2older SATA version. I think you should be OK if you get a Card that supports SATA 2 or above. In theory the SATA standards are backwards compatible.
