Which one would you guys recommend? Reviews and posts on them are few and far between.
Highpoint: Kinda pricy, seems like best performing. Anyone that has this card, how important are the included disks for installation? I can probably download the drivers and utilities, but is there anything on those floppies that would prevent installation as a boot disk? I can get an OEM for about 1/2 price.
Promise: Heard about problems with this controller. Performance seems mediocre.
SIIG: Very reasonable price and is the only one I can get at a B&M locally. CompUSSR has it for ~$60
Koutech: Seems like the cheapest UDMA133 controller available. @ $30 shipped.
I need a RAID card for my newly acquired Maxtor 120GB Ultras (Thanks Staples!!
), so any input would be great. My A7N8X has onboard SATA, and the adapters are expensive and hard to find. Plus a dedicated RAID card will give me flexibility in the future as most mobos are migrating to onboard SATA RAID.
