This review is from: Syba Combo IDE(1)/SATA(2) PCI Card SY-VIA-150 (Personal Computers) I bought this in order to replace the older IDE drive on one of my PC's but noticed something odd when I tried to use it. Specifically, I COULD get an SATA drive to function just fine with this card as a second drive but I COULD NOT boot to that drive. Looking around a bit, I managed to find documentation on the manufacturer (IOcrest) web site that reads, "Can not boot from this card. There is no BIOS on card." In fact, it's the very first bullet item in the list of specs so apparently even the manufacturer thinks that's a pretty important fact. I've submitted a request to Amazon to update the description for this product so hopefully the omission will be corrected soon.
The bottom line is this: if you want to buy this card to use an SATA drive (or two) IN ADDITION TO the IDE drive(s) you already have then this card will work fine. However, if you intended to use this to REPLACE the IDE drives you have with SATA drives then you need to look elsewhere.

This review is from: Syba Combo IDE(1)/SATA(2) PCI Card SY-VIA-150 (Personal Computers) The Syba Combo IDE/SATA PCI card installs without difficulty. The documentation is a bit sparse with a couple of errors, but I was able to complete the process without difficulty. Drivers supplied worked great with XP Service Pack 3. Works well with WD 1TB Caviar Green SATA HD 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Works great...just as advertised!, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Syba Combo IDE(1)/SATA(2) PCI Card SY-VIA-150 (Personal Computers) I needed some more SATA connection in my PC and this card helped me out in a rough spot.
Worked exactly as advertized....connected the card into a spare slot, boom....instant additional IDE/SATA connections for drives, CD/DVD-ROMs, etc. Thanks! |
