My Dell Dimension 8200 did not want to recognize that this hardware was installed. Not till I removed it and tryed to install the software. Then re-installed it did the computer recognize that it was in there. This was a frustrating couple day experience. But seems to be working fine. It is a good value But when it takes hours to install ?!
Excellant for Adding Serial Drives

This card combined with a Westerndigital Cavier Blue 500 GB harddrive, was easy to install. It is any easy way to add serial harddrive to older Pata systems.
Works great

Works perfectly under W2K. Raid software is easy to set up and manage.
This does what I need it to do

I didn't need RAID, I needed something to add IDE for some old drives so I could use them as spare storage. Non-bootable is a plus for me but keep that in mind because I can't boot Windows from a drive on this card. Ubuntu 9.10 recognized this immediately with no additional driver and I can use both drives attached in Ubuntu and the NTFS drive in Windows under XP64. The grub loader recognizes 8.04 on one of the old drives, but I haven't tried booting it since I'd rather use 9.10. I may use the external SATA in the future, but I'm not concerned with it right now.
Works well

The only reason I downgraded it was because the documentation for choosing the drivers was so vague it was really just a guessing game. Once installed it works great.
