3132 PCIe comes in various flavors - 2xSATA or 1xSATA + 1xeSATA. I've used 
both, under both 6- and 7- (although just right now my 31xx controllers are 
all in my Solaris boxes). It's fine; the usual kind of throughput -- I get 
around 80MB/s off of the four disks on my 3124 in another machine under 6.3. 

Hotswap is a little tricky, at it requires an atacontrol detach and attach.
