Basically I'm looking at getting a SATA Controller, so that I can get full speed of my Sata Mtron Drive. Intel Chipset is pegged at 80MB/s, and this drive should hit 120MB Read and 80-100 Write, I know really nothing about Controllers. Don't need raid, just a controller. Plus size is a concern, it can only fit 6.5 in cards. So if you know sata disk controllers, recommend away, just keep it under 130$ please

I know this fits

Remember it's a PCI card so the max throughput will be 133MB/sec shared with all other PCI devices.

You will only get upto 100MB/sec if you're lucky!

Which is fine, and there are no other PCI cards in the system.

No worries Ken, thanks for the headsup. I'll get better performance one way or another.
