ULTRA133 TX2 Eide Ultra ATA-133PCI [Posted on 2005-10-17] The product operates exactly as advertised. I can now add up to 4 additional drives to my system as a result of getting this product --- note that I already had 4 drives, and I needed to add an additional one. I have only added one so far, but because it has it's own BIOS, you can add a master and slave IDE drive on each channel, and it has 2 channels -- primary and secondary -- just like the PC mother board. So... if you have enough power supply connections, you can have upto 8 drives after you have installed this 4-drive add-on board.
NOTE: I used it for installing Linux stuff on an existing XP machine, and it handles it perfectly.
NOT a RAID controller [Posted on 2006-08-30] Product works fine, but it doesn't do RAID. I didn't buy this from Amazon, but I figured I'd save people from going through what I went through: an hour on hold with Promise until they could finally tell me that it wasn't a RAID controller.
It didn't work too well as a controller card, though, either, so I can't really recommend this. It wouldn't boot into Windows on my main boot drive.
NOT A RAID CONTROLLER like the description on Amazon says [Posted on 2006-10-11] I wasted a lot of time and $ to find Amazon's mistake...hope you don't have to.
