Multiport IDE cards, problems with Promise IDE ctrlr.
Anyone have recommendations for reliable IDE cards? I'm looking to
replace my Promise controllers due to annoying errors posting as system events every hour. (Time sync error or whatever. It's a known problem with Promise controllers) Lately I've been getting the above error along with a second error message re swapfile. I suspect that this is a controller problem due to the fact it's accompanied by the Promise time sync error. The drive flagged with the error is new, and has passed multiple scandisk tests. Anyway, I'd love to find something that can support more than two IDE channels. Does anyone make a quad IDE card? If not, I'll settle for recommendations on good dual cards. Thanks |

Silicon Image Ultra ATA/133 IDE Raid PCI Controller $15.99 On Sale http://www.softwareandstuff.com/CRD10155.html Thanks for the recommendation. I haven't heard of Silicon Image, but apparently their chipsets are used quite a bit. I'll look into it. I also found out that Adaptec makes an ATA card--the 1233. http://tinyurl.com/6qxah Has anyone used it? Any problems? |
