Simple-Proven 6-80 Chipset-Long Lasting

This is a real steal for a controller card that is unbeatable in many respects...
Been using this card, and its Koutech cousin for years.
My Server has one of these running and XP 1700 and 2 Samsungs in Raid 0+1...its that old.
Paired with good 7200 hard drives, it will easily do 90 to 110 mbs/sec.
Dual channel IDE for those old drives.
SLOW! This adds about one minute to bootup if left in RAID mode.
That is a little over the top for FAKE RAID.
No new RAID Firmware since 2006. Whereas the Non-RAID Firmware has been updated multiple times. This is not really Rosewill's fault, but is since they decided use the SI chips.
Only three Eggs because of the ridiculously slow boot time with RAID enabled. It is slower than my actual hardware RAID that _is_ controlling the drives and not relying on the OS/CPU to do so.
Windows Drivers on the CD are a little dated, get the new ones online.
In Linux use dmraid.
