Pros: Great PCI card, allows you to add extra SATA ports onto your PC and use them for HDDs, and other things. I personally use this card for the Xbox 360, works perfect to flash iXtreme to any drive.
Cons: The SATA port on the back did not work when I got it. Also when I put the card in my PC my PC wouldn't boot at first! I had to flash the bios and then update the BIOS before this card was recognized. I didn't install any drivers and still works great.
Other Thoughts: Only tested on 32-bit XP, but ordered a second and will install it into my other PC running a triple boot of 64-Bit Vista, 64-Bit XP and Windows 7
Bottomline: Excellent card!
Pros: This pci card is perfect for flashing xbox 360 dvd, liteon included.Great if you don't have an internal sata controller or your internal one isn't the right chipset.The price is very good.The card has one external sata connecter and two internal sata connectors, what is very handy.
Cons: Can't find any negative about this product.
Other Thoughts: I don't have any problems installing this pci card on windows xp (with the cd) or with windows xp mediacenter2005 or with windows vista, the last one doesn't even need drivers. Didn't have a chance to test windows 7.
Bottomline: Good working pci satacard, works great for flashing xbox 360 dvd (all). You don't even need to install the drivers.Very low price for what you get.
Pros: None I can see. I wanted this card to try to recover an old raid array installed on a mobo with a via chipset which died.
Cons: Didn't work on Vista x64, didn't work on Windows 7 x64, and that's all I have.
Other Thoughts: If it had worked, it could helped recovering data on an old raid array (whose old mobo died). The card seems not to be dead, since it cause some slow downs on the system, but installation program says it can not find the supported hardware on my system.
Bottomline: Maybe it works for Windows XP, I don't know.
Pros: I needed an (e)SATA expansion for my freebsd NAS server. I was using its USB2 connection to attach to external (1TB and 500GB) USB/eSATA disks. Max. speed would not be higher than 20 MB/sec. Using this cheap SATA card and an eSATA bracket, also from dealextreme the speed went up to 70MB/sec.- FREEBSD already has the drivers for this chipset available.
Cons: The external sata port is of no use to me. Should be esata or nothing.So I use it for 2 disks only
Other Thoughts: I have no use for the IDE port as well. Just sata would have been fine
Bottomline: This thing is brilliant, especially for the price. Performance is great.
