Input: Pros:<br />-cheap PCI 4 SATA-port card<br />-good quality & sturdy  SATA ports (but not super sturdy) which is excellent for this price range<br />-installed out of the box under ubuntu 10.04 LTS without its crappy drivers<br />-Recognized my Hitachi 3TB HDD [[ASIN:B004E9SGPY Hitachi Deskstar 3.5 inch 3TB 7200RPM SATA III 6Gbps 64MB Cache Internal Hard Drive 0S03086]] (which really made my day) beside my other Hitachi 2TB<br />-SATA ports are designed with locks for cable latches (also compatible with non-latch SATA cables)<br /><br />Cons:<br />-speed is kinda crappy (12 MiB/s) ... but I think it's cuz of my old Pentium 4 Motherboard (intel D850MV), my NIC 10/100 MiB/s & my bus speed...anyway, it's just a backup & a file server for 24/7 torrenting & LAN movies<br />-------------------<br />UPDATE  : July 27, 2011<br />-------------------<br />It appeared that I was using a 100M NIC ethernet PCI card in my Pentium 4 which was the bottleneck, I believe it would've given me more boost transferring lots of Gigs if I had used a 1000M NIC  in the first place.<br /><br />Other:<br />-I'm using this card just to add SATA ports to my old PC since it only has the old PATA ports<br />-I had to install windows xp to flash it to the latest bios after installing the driver. The bios update can be found under the card properties in the windows hardware section or whatever it's called (2008 was the last time I used windows.... only Mac & Linux)<br />-You need to download the bios from Silicon Image website & choose either r###.bin(r indicates for RAID I guess) for RAID setup or b###.bin (b=base) for non-raid setup<br />-can't comment on RAID performance since I have a dedicated NAS for that [[ASIN:B002KOWDAE QNAP 4-Bay Desktop Network Attached Storage TS-419P]]

Recognized my 3TB Hitachi HDD in ubuntu 10.04 LTS
