There's no special hardware for SATA that I'm aware of. The RAID features (vs just a plain old disk controller) require a daughter card, but it sounds like you have that. I have a memory fragment telling me that if you have even one SATA disks on the backplane, the whole card reverts to SATA mode, but I'm not sure on that. -- Ben ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
