Ray 3/13/2013 1:17:48 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Card Works Great! Pros: Installed and SATA worked perfect. Had a little time getting the IDE to work, but finally installed the updated driver from the manufacturer which helped more than the disc they sent with the card. Cons: Slightly difficult to get the IDE to work, but finally after an update from the manufacturer it is fully operational. Other Thoughts: Will recommend this this card and will buy it again.

Ray 3/12/2013 11:37:15 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Purchased to add 2 new drives Pros: After installing an updated driver from the manufacturer, this card worked perfectly. Purchased to add 2 drives and have flexibility to add 2 more for future use if needed. Would buy this card again. Cons: Driver CD has outdated drivers which do not activate the IDE port. After updating the driver with the correct driver. The card worked great. Other Thoughts: This card is perfect if you wish to add drives to a system already running. It will NOT boot from due to the lack of a BIOS of it's own. I've noticed how some tried to boot from drives on this card. That won't happen. This is only to give more storage space.

Aaron 6/16/2012 10:50:40 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5hard to beat for the price Pros: works fine with IDE hard drives Cons: I was hoping this would have better legacy support, however when I plugged in an IDE Zip drive and accessed the disk, instant blue screen of death each time. I do not recommend planning to use a CD/DVD or Zip drive or anything not a hard drive on this card. Other Thoughts: I have a similar card with possibly the same chipset in my other computer and it seems to work exactly the same as I expected, with the exception of the Zip Drive thing...

Smokey65662 11/26/2011 11:29:29 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5works Pros: Worked for flashing xbox 360 DVD drives. Cons: None I could see. Other Thoughts: I only used it for flashing Xbox 360 DVD drives so for that it works well. As far as using it for a disc or hard drive I haven't used it for that so you might want to read others reviews on that front. Did you find this review helpful?
