5 out of 5 eggs Works fine as a SATA controller 02/27/2010

This review is from: SYBA SY-PEX40008 PCI Express Low Profile Ready SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Software RAID Controller Card

Pros:

Easy to install
Drivers were simple to find
Works fine for expanding my SATA ports

Cons:

I wouldn't put any faith whatsoever in any hardware RAID capabilities - if you think you're going to find something that will do RAID 5 properly for less than a hundred dollars, you're living in a dream world.

Overall Review:

I use this to allow more disks on my server (the intel ICHxxR chipsets all only allow for 6 ports) and use software RAID on the server. If you're out of SATA ports, I highly recommend this - if you're looking for hardware RAID, again, this is not going to make you happy.
