Today’s motherboards come equipped with more than enough serial ATA ports for even most power users, so one may question the need for an SATA expansion card. Older systems, which are commonly used as file servers, or those enthusiasts with an insatiable appetite for more capacity are two potential candidates for a card like this.



This card is ideal for those who want to start using Linux, but still need to use Windows for computing needs and don’t want to mess with their current partitions. This card supports the following operating systems:

• Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
• Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
• Windows Server 2003 Web Edition
• Microsoft Windows XP Professional
• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
• RedHat Linux 7.3
• RedHat Linux 8.0
• SuSE Linux 8.0
• SuSE Linux 8.1
