Customer Reviews
This card was available as a cheap and cheerful upgrade and did the trick, even came with a Sata i/f cable. Not quite plug and play but a little persistence got everything up and working, no idea about speed but it seems no different to the original C: drive. Windows sees the full 565Gb despite various warnings that it might not. Have partitioned the drive so I can backup C: to F: and use G: for data.
Works well at a bargain price.
I was intending to install this card with two Maxtor 80GB hard disks on a new build computer and install my XP. So far I have found no way for XP to recognise the presence of my hard disks. The instructions that come on the accompanying Cd are almost useless. For example the instruction on setting the RAID BIOS are simply a picture of the BIOS page.
So replaced the original XP hard disk with the two new disks as additional drives. You can then install the software from the CD so that XP recognises and sets up the RAID configuration. I am now using the RAID disks to store my work files. I use a lot of large picture files and was expecting to be able to load the files more quickly from the RAID disk. So far, unless I am missing some important setting, the speed of access is just the same as from the original (slow) hard disk.
Yes - the card works
No - I have found no speed improvement
