I'm using a SATALink 3112 in a Sun Ultra 420R:

...
satalink0 at pci1 dev 1 function 0
satalink0: Silicon Image SATALink 3112 (rev. 0x02)
satalink0: SATALink BA5 register space enabled

satalink0: using ivec 0 for native-PCI interrupt
atabus0 at satalink0 channel 0

satalink0: port 1: device present, speed: 1.5Gb/s
wd0 at atabus1 drive 0: <WDC WD3200YS-01PGB0>
wd0: drive supports 16-sector PIO transfers, LBA48 addressing

)

The brand name I've used is SunSway / ST Labs.  I also have a
SATALink 3512-based controller in an alpha, which also works ok.
