Title: SLOW Serial ATA RAID card
Review: Very disappointed with this card - it's in my junk box of un-used [un-usable] PC parts...Apparently the "RAID" is a reference to the fact that someone raided the cache off this controller. The I/O rate is horrible and since the only reason to convert to RAID 0 is to gain performance, this puppy got yanked out by me immediately after finally getting it to "work" which also was not as expected.Despite my best efforts, this controller could NOT be used during OS installation - I tried with both Win2k and WinXP. I downloaded the latest drivers and did the "F6" during the clean installs - loaded drivers, but then the OS said "no disk found" and installation could not continue. Many attempts... many hours... much frustration...Finally added a third disk as boot device and did RAID-0 for the other 2 disks for data and then checked the performance... I don't see why anyone would use this controller.
Is the review positive or negative?
