Great Card, Not so good Hard Drive
Reviewed by Anonymous Review Posted 01/02/2006

From Reading the Reviews that people have written, there is a pattern immerging. Maxtor Drives are Rubbish, I don't think you can blame the card because a drive lags the system or hangs. I have this card and had a Maxtor dive attached to it and it caused so many problems. Then I purchased some Seagate 300Gb Drives and all the problems went away.

So I think for anyone who is planning on purchasing this card I would buy a SEAGATE drive to go with it. But now Seagate have bought Maxtor we should see the end of Crappy Drives.

Ps. I don't see how a PCI Card could cause a PSU to Explode. Perhaps it was the Faulty PSU that caused the card to malfunction ;).

Been using this card to control a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 80GB SATA150 for the past 12 months with absolutely no problems. Runs nicely under both Windows XP and SUSE Linux.
