Does What It Does

PROMISE SATA300 TX4 PCI SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card
PROMISE SATA300 TX4 PCI SATA II (3.0Gb/s) Controller Card

Pros: Excellent! Gives you four SATA ports. Needed a SATA controller for a FreeNAS build. Detected my Addonics SATA to CF adapter (ADSACFB) perfectly.

Cons: Overpriced. Should have just purchased an inexpensive motherboard for the same amount.

Most Critical Review

Not Compatible?

SYBA SD-CF-2IDE-U Dual Ultra IDE to Compact Flash Adapter
SYBA SD-CF-2IDE-U Dual Ultra IDE to Compact Flash Adapter

Pros: Inexpensive. Worked in a newer motherboard.

Cons: Would not work well on an old Intel D850GB motherboard. Would not boot from any motherboard I used. Had originally planned on using it for a FreeNAS OS disk.

Overall Review: Might not be compatible with older hardware. Spend a little extra for a SATA to CF adapter from another manufacturer.

Excellent Little Bootable Card

Pros: Ultra DMA mode 4 bootable CF card. Works perfectly in an Addonics SATA CF adapter (ADSACFB). Fast enough for my FreeNAS box.

Cons: N/A
