You get what you pay for
Pros: Simple installation for my use case, which is a non-raid implementation. Install load the driver and off you are. Works fine, doesn't take up much room on the mother board
Cons: When the operating system SATA drive is connected to this controller, the controller card causes the Windows 7 sleep mode not to function. Rather than going into sleep mode the PC will shutoff. Major liability for some. limited utility support and poor documentation.
Overall Review: Over all for the price point this is a good controller except if your Operating System needs to integrate to this card.
Remote will not go into learning mode!
Pros: Fits nice in hard, light weight, etc.
Cons: Keyboard layout could be better. WMC buttons should be closer to the navigation buttons. Unable to get the remote to go into learning mode.
Overall Review: Support is difficult to reach
