I used the card to RAID a stack of old 80GB Hdds from various manufacturers, and use it with the free open source file server software. I have had no issues at all. Definitely worth the price.
Will not work?

I've tried several different ways to get this card to work. Raid screen loading not a problem but Windows XP doesn't see or load any IDE drivers for CD Rom drive? Driver's must have hidden file attributes or missing, all you can view on driver disk included is text.
This is more of a problem when you only have one IDE port on your motherboard: 1 for hard disk & the other for the CD Rom. Therefore, the CD Rom never gets seen if you have it connected to this new IDE card.
This card is useless to me!
Works

Works well although i have to say it's kinda stupid to sent a drivers disc that you have to copy to a floppy to load Windows.............
Excellent value for a cheap card

Drivers installed easily. The hardest part was getting the bios RAID utility screen to pop up. Pressing delete button immediately during bootup seemed to help get the RAID utility screen to pop up. Or changing the card position in different PCI slots may have helped. It worked some how. The manual was decent for the install and the web assisted as well. I have RAID 1 set up with 2 disks and a spare harddrive in case one fails. Not bad for a cheap card.
Garbage?

I upgraded my system with new motherboard but still had a couple of IDE hard drives so I bought this thing to continue running them along with my SATA drive & to this day I have yet to get it working! The driver disc doesn't even load & on the box it says it only works with XP, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. But I haven't contacted Sabrent yet, but I'll have to agree with another review it doesn't look like the pic, pin connecters are inverted & like I said so far it doesn't work!!!!!!!!!
