Yes I´m using an ASUS a7v with vt8237 with no problem with a 120Gb SATA seagate not tried RAID only the drive plugged and runing, no idea about how fast, because I´m a linux newbie and don´t know how to test it.
I expect it helps.

I have an MSI KT6 motherboard, with a VIA8237 chipset, running SUSE 9.1. The chipset is recognized by the kernel with no problem. So far I have only used UDMA hard drives and I'd like to buy a SATA one. I don't plan to use any fancy option, like RAID, etc. I just want to plug one drive and use it. Has anyone successfully used that chipset? Are there any hard drive manufacturers to avoid? Thanks in advance!
