Silicon Image Si0680 Ultra-133 ATA RAID card

I want to do a backup raid set for my SATA raid set. I want to use two 500GB PATA drives. Does anyone know how large of drives this card will support in windows XP?🙂
 
SiI0680 is a standalone Ultra ATA/133 host controller designed to accommodate the transfer of large amounts of content-rich data common in today's multimedia applications. On the Ultra ATA/133 interface specification, the SiI0680 supports a 133 MB/s burst transfer rate and features 48-bit sector addressing, thereby enabling the utilization of drives with capacities greater than 137GB.

Looks like as big as you wanna go.

Good Luck!
 
So does greater than 137GB mean that it will handle two 500GB drives? I was hoping that someone on the forums had used large drives with this controller and could vouch for it handling two 320GB and higher drives...
 
it will handle any drive that attaches pata.
i've been using those cards for a while now.
pretty reliable...very cheap.
greater than 137 is just because of the barrier it passed from previous limitation on very old ata. now we are talking hundred pentabytes or whatever limitation with 48bit lba.
no worries mate!
 
Thanks for the help with this. I did not want to buy the drives and install them only to find out the card would not support them.
