Completely agree! Also, SII3112 does NOT work with Windows WELL. You 
just cant "make -j4 buildworld" on Windows  to have EASY way to put 
reasonable load on controller. But I have seen reports from Windows 
users about brokeness of some integrated (and not integrated) SATA 
controllers.

Most of FreeBSD users just ASSUME that hardware works with Windows, 
because they (users of FreeBSD) dont
read forums of Windows users. Just try "SII3112 Windows trouble", also 
pay attention, that most Windows users just dont know which SATA 
controller is embeded to their motherboard.
