I'm one of those people on AVS and I can guarantee there is an issue between the Silicon Image SATARaid controller and the A180. No question. Not SATA and HD, specifically the Silicon Image SATARaid onboard controller and the A180. Driver version doesn't seem to matter but all their drivers are old.
It may not manifest itself in every instance, but too many people have had their stuttering problem solved by eliminating that interface to ignore.
If you have stutter problems with your A180 recording to a SATA drive it is highly recommended that you check your hardware properties to see if your MB has this controller. It's on several 'name' boards, most notably my Asus, heh.
peace . . .

I have a SiI3512 SATA controller, which is similar, and all of my Sage recording directories are on the SATA drives. I tried temporarily setting up a Sage recording directory on my PATA boot drive, and started some new recordings from the A180, and I got perfect recordings!
Unfortunately, I can't tell Sage to always use a particular (PATA) drive for recordings from the A180 tuner, so I may have to juggle hardware somehow so that I'm not recording to the SATA drives. It's nice to know that my stutter wasn't Sage's fault though  |
