That indeed might be worth the money, if your motherboard's ATA hardware is inadequate (e.g., ServerWorks). Apologies if I failed to get your point about that, earlier. At that point, it comes partly down to an economic question: How much performance benefit are you going to get by never having to worry about saturating ATA 33, and what's the cheapest way of supporting the desired number of drives without that limitation? Then you try to estimate cost/benefit on the available options. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
