My 2=A2 is to use this card since it supports 4 drives and your sata
card only supports 2.

Hey Len thanks for your response. By the way, the Acard only supports
two drives as well, but if in fact I can use it without putting it in a
raid configuration then I will not switch it for the Sata.

According to the acard site at
http://tinyurl.com/8hvn3
Specifications
* DIP Switch setting for RAID 0 mode, RAID 1 mode or normal mode
* Coexist with on-board IDE controller
* Open Firmware interface
* Max. 4 IDE devices
so you can throw 4 drives on it. You can use either a RAID 1,
mirroring, for real time back up but slower throughput, or RAID 0 for
striping, which is faster, but more prone to data corruption.
