hi ya
if these cards mentioned are hardware raid controllers..
you cannot convert an ide controller into an hardware raid contoller
by moving wires around ??? or am i missing something ???
- if it is in fact identical with just a missing jumper
for convertion the ultra vs the fastrack raid... than they
did not learn from the similar celeron overclocking fiasco
3ware makes hardware raid0/raid1 controllers ( but not raid5 )
abit and asus(?) has hardware raid0/1 controller on their motherboard
promise ultra100 is NOT a hardware raid controller
is the hardware raid controller that much faster than software raid ???
have fun raiding
