PCI to SATA / IDE (2 SATA / 2 PATA) Combo RAID Controller Card - VT6421A (Manufacturer Part # SY-VIA-150R)

My dell dimension 2400 doesn't have a sata port, so I got this along with my new hard drive. It works great, boots from this card and everything. It is kinda slow, but I don't think you can avoid that with any pci sata card.

This PCI adapter card is an excellent product and value for the price.Most of the PCI adapter cards available on the market these days will not perform up to the standards this card will give you.The controller alone is worth the price of the card.Also, you will get two additional sata drive ports on the the card in case you don't have any sata ports available on your computer.The card is totally bootable from your PCI slot,unlike alot of other PCI cards.Pop the card in a PCI slot without connecting the cables to the card.Boot your computer and load the driver,then shut down the computer to reconnect cables to your card.Boot your computer again and the card works great with windows XP.This card is user friendly and works as it should.I am totally impressed with this card and you cannot go wrong purchasing it for this outstanding value.
