$12 raid card

I wonder what it feels like to be someone who actually paid full price for real fasttrak 66.
 
OK, possibly an ignorant question, try to over look it and tell me where I get one of the resistors? and a lv soldering iron?

 
Shipping info

$8 for Second Day Air or Three Day Select
$6 for Ground (UPS)
$21 for Next Day Air


Guess they don't use USPS Priority Mail...with Insurance, under $4.

 
the topic is missleading...it's a regular U66 adapter that you can turn into a RAID0/1 controller. on the same token, i don't see people advartising GeForce 2 Quadro for $XXX with link to GTS and instructions how to turn GTS into Quadro.
 
Ok how can I turn a Geforce into a quadro????


I would seriously like to know, this is the sort of thing I would expect to see on toms site..


 
To make a quadro, glue two GTS 2 together, stacked with IC chip facing one another with a hot glue gun. I remember seeing on Tom's Hardware site, I just can't seem to find it.
 
Never ceases to amaze me.. THey are selling a controller for $11.50 that can be modded EASILY to a $50.00 + card, and someone has to complain that they can't get it shipped for $4.00. It only costs $4.00? What about the boxes? the peanuts? the invoices? the ink? the employee boxing them up? Their $8.00 UPS shipping is very reasonable. Get a grip.
 
Onvia Still has these new for 20.58 which includes a 66 cable. That is final cost, shipping is free from onvia. I just bought mine. Works great.
 
>>Guess they don't use USPS Priority Mail...with Insurance, under $4.

USPS is not friendly to business. AT ALL. UPS picks up. Not a big mystery.
 
USPS does pickup....they go to nearly every home or office everday. They will even make special trips if you are shipping Priority Mail.
 
the results from turning a Geforce/Geforce2 into a Quadro were very very small in gaming, less than %5 increase in fps. (so from 60fps you'd go to 63, oh yippy) And you have to solder all kinds of $hit to your $100-$300 video card, not worth the risk.

no, you didn't need to "glue two GTS 2 together", it was just a couple of resistors kinda deal like the Promise raid card.
 
you know this might not be such a bad deal for only $17.50 total, even if you screw it up you're not out that much money.

i've never used raid before, can i partition a raid drive? I mean, when using raid, two drives would appear as one to the OS (right?), so if I make a 6 gig partition, does that mean 3 gigs is on one drive and the other 3 is on another drive?
 
um...hope these are the older U66 cards with an older bios chip..the newer ones don't let you flash to fastrak66...

btw...you don't get a cable nor driver disk at this price.
 
someone on the forums tried to flash one of the newer boards...tried 4 times and failed...couldn't flash it because the bios chip size was decreased...but of course, it could just be him 🙂
