Question on IDE RAID and ATA-100 / ATA-133 controller to driver interoperability.

Greetings,

I just purchased 3 drives that are ATA-133, and am getting ready to buy the nicer ATA-100 RAID card (either Adaptec or Iwill). On all their specs, they just say requirements on the drive are ATA drives, not ATA 100. None say that they will NOT work with 133, so amd I safe to assume it will work just that I will get the 100 speed versus the 133 the drives are capable of?

I have researched and no one has the answer so I figured my fellow geeks at Anand would 🙂
