Took 12 days to get it from order day! Tracking # NOT recognized by USPS.
Finally installed it. Bios doesn’t find it! Windows doesn’t find it!
Worked a whole day trying, reinstalling, rebooting – Nothing.
Tried in other two computers – Same results.
Obviously a DUD not an adapter card.
Not worth shipping back and waiting another two weeks.
Will put it in the junk box.
Will buy from Newegg.

I had 500 GB SATA Hard drive that I really wanted to use on a “older” computer. Unfortunately it did not have SATA connections, so I decided to buy this card. My motherboard BIOS did not see this card, hence can’t boot from the SATA HD, and it did not have necessary firmware (such as settings for serial HD) for me to hack to get the SATA HD to work from boot-up. However, when I boot from IDE HD, and the Windows XP could see the SATA HD just fine. So, it is likely to be best served for motherboards that you KNOW can see or hack to get it to work with SATA for booting purposes OR use it as some type of RAID configuration, or even simply adding HD for storage/backup configurations. It is likely to be useful for external SATA connections, since it has external SATA connector.
