Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Disk Controllers/RAID Cards
Previously I bought a Manhattan brand (P)ATA EIDE PCI Express controller card. It was awful. It never worked correctly, neither for hard disk drives nor optical drives. But this Maxtor Promise Ultra ATA133 dual IDE controller card worked exactly as it should! It recognized all of the drives which I connected to it, and all of them behaved as expected. The speed is good and everything is as it should be. If I had one complaint, it is that the time it takes to recognize the drives during boot time takes too long, but a large part of that is simply due to the nature of the ATA drives' technology, not a problem specific to this card. Overall, this is a recommended controller card! Go with Maxtor, one of the grandest of them all!
