This review is from : PCI to SATA / IDE (2 SATA / 2 PATA) Combo RAID Controller Card - VT6421L
Everything worked perfectly . I needed to install a DVD drive on my home computer. Unfortuantely there was no 40 pin reciever on the main board. This SATA card installed without any difficulty whatsoever, and immediately. The instructions for the software, and the purpose for the spare cable could have been made more clear. But once I loaded the software correctly (3rd try), and figured out that I didn't need the cable, everything worked perfectly. I am definitely not an IT person, so any issue that I had would most likely not exist for anyone with intermediate or expert experience.

Does the job! . I bought a SATA hard drive and when I opened up my computer case to install it, I discovered that I only had 2 SATA ports on my motherboard, both of which were already being used. I needed a cheap way to add the hard drive to my computer and this did the job. I had no problems installing the card and didn't have to install any additional software with Windows 7. I don't use RAID, so I can't comment on that, but this card does exactly what I needed it to do.

Works ... just does the job! . I have an old computer with only PATA drive support on the motherboard. I bought this card so that I could add SATA drives, since replacement PATA drives are smaller capacity and more expensive. It works well, and since I installed it, I have not had any problems. I anticipate that if I change motherboards on my computer, I can migrate this board to the new system. Since current motherboards don't support PATA hard drives, I can use this card to continue to use my older PATA drives! I don't intend to use the RAID function, so cannot comment on that aspect.

Utilitarian product, works, does the job it was intended for ... what more can you say. If you have a need to support PATA and SATA drives in the same computer system, this is a worthwhile product. The price is also reasonable.

Cons Review
