I use a "Promise PDC20378 SATA150 controller" built into my motherboard for RAID1 and it works perfectly. The only problem can be mapping the name to the PDC number although you should be able to find it if you dig in the data sheet. I believe the chip I am using is in the "FastTrak S150 TX2plus" - it has 2 SATA ports and a PATA port (which matches the motherboard) -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBEEWoF5ZPcIHs/zowRAnNdAJ964XIx4ynuBWkzXmgmOWwsfmzTAwCdEABy JFI2X3vXvYO38KmOcr10ppY= =gPHq -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
