    The title says it all. I love the speed but it's too expensive and the required cable just adds to the cost.

    Pros: It had the features I wanted, and my previous experience with Startech brand is good. It seems to work OK (see cons).
    Cons: The software CD was labeled for "2 serial ATA controller with parallel ATA" and the directions were totally wrong. I went to the ST site and got the software there - it was the same stuff. The software is a Via RAID controller - overkill, considering there's only 1 ext. and 1 ESATA port.
    I contacted tech support and got these directions for XP:
    Thank you for your inquiry! I would recommend downloading the latest drivers/software directly from our website (http://www.startech.com/item-download/PCIESATA2I-1-Port-eSATA-1-Port-SATA-PCI-Controller-Adapter-Card.aspx). The path to the 32 bit XP driver (without software) is PCIESATA2I/VRAIDDrv/XP/x86.
    However, when I went to Add/Remove software in XP to remove the Via software, I found one could just remove the RAID config program and keep the drivers, which I did.

    The card does the job and requires little effort to install. Instructions aren't straight-forward though.
