Greg,
All: It seems that I have grossly polluted this thread! I am really focused
on SATA-on-PCI, but I still do play PATA also.......my migration is slower
than most......... :)
This is key from before that I was looking for. I may just buy this card
as a possible spare to my current Promise Ultra133tx2; even though it still
works.
Now, do you have a Rosewill-branded card rec for PCI-SATA! Uber speed is
not necessary. The drive I'd use can do both 1.5Gbit and 3.0Gbit. The
planned use is for a Backup sponge for a new NAS.
I am looking at Newegg and have not yet gone blind! I have no experience
with Rosewill, but will try............... :)
Best,
Duncan

I wish I could get rid of all my PATA drives, but I still have several TB's
worth of them...enough capacity to still care about. :(
Rosewill-branded card based on SiI0680A:
