    Well, it doesn't help if you plan to create a Dual/Tripleboot setup on a single SATA drive.

    My QS has the following:
    -CF-adaptor with small card containing the boot.img and an emerceny system
    -el cheapo 3112 card (<10Euro))
    -RDB-partioned 500GB-SSD-Hybrid drive

    Couldn't care less about booting from SATA as that would force me to put a Mac-partition-table on it (to what gain ? there is plenty space in the QS)

    OK, I had to hunt for awhile, but I found a Silicon Image Sil3112 based 2 port SATA controler card that will boot in a Mac.
    Its kind of rare, but they are available.
