Hello fellow members,
I'm about to buy two new SATA-drives for my PC. Of course, I need a controllercard because my motherboard is pretty old (epox 8k7a+). Which one of these two cards is the best?
PROMISE FASTTRACK S150 TX4 S-ATA RAID PCI
HIGHPOINT ROCKETRAID 1540 4-CHANNEL S-ATA RAID PCI
They cost ~ $140 one slightly more than the other but I don't care about the small difference.
Or would it be better to buy a new motherboard that supports SATA and PATA (not necesserely PATA if I can put a PATA-SATA converter on my old drives)?
What would give me the best performance?
Thanks.
