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!!!!!!!!!

One problem with this order was that the product received DID NOT MATCH THE PHOTO on your website. The websit photo showed the connectors upright on top of the board! The actual product received had connectors that were 90 degrees to the board which dictated that the board had to be used in the PCI connector at the BOTTOM of the board in order to have room to attach the ribbon cables.
PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR PRODUCTS SHIPPED AND PHOTOS ON YOUR WEBSITE MATCH.
Another problem surfaced as I tried to find the correct drivers to add to my system to enable the board to function properly. Sabrent was contacted as well as the board's chip maker to try to resolve this problem.
Overall this was a very frustrating experience.

I sent it back, the bios on my motherboard couldn't handle it and once I installed it, I couldn't boot from my SATA DVD drive. I could boot from a IDE optical drive attached to this controller if the media was bootable, but if the bios priority had it first and there was no bootable media in the IDE optical drive, the system would hang and not go on to the Hard drive. I finally gave up. Don't know whether it was the fault of this controller or the bios but they sure didn't like each other.

The instructions sucks, the drivers are limited in their compatibility, the thing slows down boot time horribly, and it recognizes devices randomly when it wants to. I was buying this card to avoid purchasing some new sata devices. I through in the towel and bought the sata drives after this card debacle.
The product is good half the time

I have bought 4 up to this point and only 2 worked and were recognized by XP 64, Windows 2000 and 98B. Although 98B had installation issued but once that was fixed it worked fine.
So you have a 50 - 50 chance of getting a lemon. My recommendation is buying 2 just to be safe it is after all very cheap.
PS
Not as pictured. And the instructions suck. But Tiger's is as good as their word when it comes to exchanges.
