$14 well spent

gave me the ide port I needed for my z68ftw mb. Driver cd worked and on reboot my ide hard disk was ready. I have more sata ports then I need right now, but the extra 2 might come in handy down the road. Came with good an ide cable and a one sata cable, alone worth $14

would have been nice to have another ide port, but I have enough slots to throw another in if needed.ide cable was short...but I have a thor case(e-atx-giant size)

moving from legacy 98 and xp systems have been made eaiser by inexpensive sata cards in pci and pcie format. A scsi card in ide costs more than my mb!

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Decent for the price

Fairly good for the raid/basic sata adapter for the 1xPCI express ports. I have the EVGA SLI board (which I love) but i just need 2 more sata connections. This care was a good fit due to restrictions inside the case from 8800 gtx's. Plug and play in Vista.

It's only 2 ports total active(i.e. any combo of internal or external parts). The manual was wrong on how to set the jumpers. Spent 15 minutes uninstalling and reinstalling the card. You must set the jumpers yourself to turn on the external ports. By default it ships with internal connectors on only. BTW the manual was wrong on how to set the jumpers.

I would have given it 4 eggs if the manual had been less sloppy.
