Need to add an additional hard drive to your system but don't have any ports left? Well, the Rosewill RC-212 controller card will provide all the ports you need. Rosewill special "Magic Switch" design of the RC212 has 2 external and 2 internal SATA ports (all using L-Type connector). You can activate two SATA ports randomly by jumper depending on your needs. In addition, the Rosewill RC-212 features an Ultra ATA/133 IDE port.
If you need, the RC-212 can support RAID in the following modes: RAID 0 (striping), RAID 1 (mirroring), RAID 0+1 (mirroring+striping). The 2 external ports will allow most SATA 1.0a devices to connect with no problems, just make sure the device is compatible. And for those older systems the Ultra ATA/133 IDE port can provide additional expansion for hard drives or other devices.
Last, but not least, the RC-212 includes drivers for most Windows operating systems including Windows 98SE/ ME/NT 4.0/2000/XP.
