Pros: None for me.

Cons: Linux and BSD freeze upon boot after detecting the card. The box claims it supports Linux and BSD. Probably did work at one time. The card BIOS has copyright 2003.

Overall Review: I have learned to read alot more newegg reviews. I should have seen this coming.

Pros: Quick and easy installation; clear written instructions.Needed this because we wanted to put a 250GB hard drive in an older Win 2K system with a BIOS that wouldn't recognize more than ~130GB. This solved the issue. Quick and easy.

Cons: None.

Comments: Well I guess I didn't do all the reading I should have before I set it up. After turning on my computer the first time my system went to the blue screen of death. And every time after that it has tried to scan disk my drives attached to that controller, and the partitions on those drives were all rendered unrecognized. Good thing I'm able to salvage most of it with "Get Data Back". If only I had read the whole "Install the controller without the drives attached, then load the drivers, then attach the drives" before I installed it. That would have saved some headaches. But now it is running smooth and I'll be testing it's bootability in the next couple of days. Not expecting any problems.

Pros: Bought this card for the OCE/RLM and the price. I can't complain about this card. I have 3 Seagate 750GB drives attached in a RAID5 and it works very well as a media server. It can sustain enough transfer speed to saturate a 100Mbit connection. I'm using a standard PCI slot for this card.

Cons: When copying file from the array to my internal drive the system becomes unresponsive for a time. This may be due to the limited capacity of the PCI bus. If I put this card in a PCI-X slot the problem may go away.

Overall Review: For the best performance, buy a MB that has a PCI-X slot.

Pros: I read some of the reviews that warned about connecting your drives to the card before installing the drivers. I had only one IDE connector on my new motherboard, and four IDE devices. This is what worked for me. Make a floppy disk from the XP drivers on the card's install CD. Hook up one hard drive to the cards IDE connector. Hook one DVD drive to the motherboards IDE connector. In BIOS, go to Advanced features under boot priority and set it to add-on card. Make first boot device the DVD burner and hard drive the second. Disable 3rd device. Under Integrated peripherals go to On-chip IDE device. Enable IDE Bus master. Under PCI device enable or disable SATA raid mode, depending if you have a SATA drive. Boot system with XP CD in drive. During install, get that floppy in the drive and hit F6 to install aditional drivers. Install Windows. This ran smooth, for me. I then hooked up my other drives and my new system was up and running.

Cons: The cables were poor flat ribbon cables, but I switched to round cable a long time ago.

Overall Review: My new motherboard smokes, but I think this card would run fast anyway.

Pros: It works w/ XP just fine. It get 80+ MBs with 2 Maxtors in a raid.

Cons: I bought the wrong one. I meant to get the 133 model.

Overall Review: Speed was the same with one drive on each controller or both drives on one controller?

Pros: none

Cons: PC Froze during post whenever I Installed it into my system.

Pros: My last review was about the RocketRaid 2220

Cons: none
