Hi there!
Need your experience in this matter. In our small office w2k server i added an ata 100 card, Promise, hooked up two IBM GXP (30+45Gb) to the card and everything went smooth awhile. Suddenly errors where reported, masterfile corruption! Not good at all.... Fixable but it reappeared for a couple of times. This had newer happened before so i suspected it was the promise card fault. Updated the drivers of course but still corruptions occured. This was unacceptable so the card went out and the problem stopped!
Until recently i never heard anyone else had this problem but yesterday i read that someone experienced corrupt data if he copied large files between his two disks. This was on an asus board with onboard promise controller. So whats your experience with the promise ata controller? Everything ok or some problems? I´m leaning towards to put it in again with latest drivers but need to know if this is a commom problem!
TIA!
