Comments: This card works great. I'm using 3 of these to have a software RAID 5 array. I have used these cards with Red Hat and with Fedora Core. Cheap and no install/setup required. They just work.

Pros: No issues at all, although I didn't try any of the built-in RAID functions. Seems to be fairly fast in informal tests. Even warns you that the speed will be reduced if you use a 40 connector cable instead of an 80 connector cable. Installation was as simple as plugging everything in.

Cons: Kind of expensive; at time of purchase was the cost of a cheap motherboard.

Overall Review: Using on a Debian Linux 4.0 system with no issues. It's the backbone of two software RAID 5's and a software RAID 1. It comes with a driver disk, although no extra drivers were required under Linux.

Pros: Works like it should. Recognizes the drives and loads everything in a proper order.

Cons: It might take some time and messing around to get it to work the right away. I had to load vista 64bit drivers on the floppy myself and then it performed nicely.

Overall Review: You have to keep the floppy around

Pros: Bought this to use in a new motherboard that didn't have an IDE connection (silly Dell...) It worked without any problems.

Cons: The BIOS boot screen added a few seconds to my boot time.

Overall Review: Make sure you load the newest drivers during your Windows XP installation otherwise you will get the Blue Screen of Death.

Pros: Simple. Does the job. Motherboard hard drive controller was dying.. so plugged this in first loading drivers with old MB controller prior to its death.. and now pc can live to die another day.

Cons: none so far....... manual could be better written.. do not install card with pc running... LOL.. just make sure to put card in.. turn pc on.. install drivers with hard drive still connected to mb or old controller and then... turn off.. and connect hard drive to card and away you go.

Pros: So far none.

Cons: Loaded the drivers in every combination I could think of. It Seem to install but would never recognize the hard drive I hooked up to it and I did test the HD on onther computer to make sure it was working, as well as trying different jumper postions and different pci slots.

Overall Review: I have used cards like this before without problems, probably just a fluke. It might not like the Gigabyte M61P-S3 Mobo.

Pros: Installed easily, added IDE ports to my Dell 520 that was SATA only. Allowed me to boot up off my legacy IDE drive.

Cons: Floppy that came with card was blank or defective, was not recognized when mounted in floppy. I simply went to Promise's website and downloaded drivers.

Overall Review: None

Pros: This card ran perfectly right out of the box. I installed the drivers when XP asked for them, it recognized my two HDs and away it went.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I'd do this again in a heartbeat.
