Summary: Works Perfectly! 2010-06-25
Comment: I bought this card to modify the firmware on my Xbox 360 (BENQ Drive). I plugged the card into my Windows XP machine, DID NOT INSTALL THE DRIVERS, and easily flashed my Xbox 360 drive. The card works very well. It does everything I wanted it to do.

Summary: Does what it says 2010-05-01
Comment: I bought this card in conjunction with IDE and mobile SATA racks so that I could have quick access to IDE and SATA drives. If you want this card to boot an older non-SATA motherboard to SATA drives, then this is not what you need. I was looking for a card to allow me access to SATA and IDE drives with an older non-SATA motherboard. It is perfect for this and works well. The driver installation is a bit tricky, though.

Summary: Windows blue-screens and SATA hard drive was corrupted 2010-04-01
Comment: Windows XP system blue-screens when this card is installed, and SATA 1.5TB hard drive contents were corrupted after attaching to this controller (drive worked fine when was attached to motherboard SATA controller). Perhaps it's a driver issue and not a hardware problem (I used the VIA driver on the supplied CD), but frankly it's not worth the hassle. I didn't mind that the card wasn't bootable, since I was planning to use it as a secondary controller.

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. As of this writing there is at least one alternative available for about the same price that does include BIOS (i.e., that will allow you to boot / completely replace IDE with SATA). Search for "Rosewill RC-215 VIA PCI SATA 1.5G" and you'll find it.
