Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sabrent SBT-RDIT Silicon Image Ultra ATA 100/133 IDE RAID PCI Host Controller Card Plus Ultra ATA 100/133 cableCustomer Review: Works fine so far Summary: 4 Stars
I installed this card with two old IDE hard drives connected to it. It works fine so far. The read/write speed is pretty good (20-30MB/s).
Here is some information for people having trouble with installation of this card:
First try not to connect any IDE devices to the card before installing the driver. My system (Vista Home Premium) recognized the card immediately and installed the default driver. However, since this card has a RAID controller, the system automatically intalled the RAID version of the driver. I am not setting up RAID, so I uninstalled the device driver and re-installed the non-RAID driver manually. The chipset on this card is Silicon Image Sil-680. The appropriate drivers for different systems can be found on the chipset manufacturer's website. Use those drivers to install. The document and driver CD that came in the box are very poor and confusing. After installing the driver, if it still doesn't recognize your hard drive, check a few things. Take off the jumper on the hard drive. If you have two hard drives, try connect one to each IDE port on the card. Try re-insert the card into the PCI slot. These things helped me to get it work.
