I built a lot of PCs and never once had a problem with this. Set the jumpers, use an appropriate cable for the interface bandwidth, plug drives (HDD, ATAPI, whatever) in, enter BIOS, auto detect, done.

It forced me to switch to linux and I never switched back (except for work and various other annoyances).
