Fastrak TX2000 Ultra ATA/133 Controller RAID Host Bus Adapter
FastTrak TX2000 raises consumer-based ATA RAID to professional levels. The FastTrak TX2000 ATA RAID card supports Ultra ATA/133 drives to rock workstations and boost small (or large) office servers like never before. FastTrak TX2000 breaks the video/sound barrier with RAID 0 striping data speeds that easily exceed that of a single Ultra ATA/133 drive. Or use RAID 1 mirroring or 0+1 to protect valuable office data...and take advantage of fast Ultra ATA/133 transfers.
FastTrak TX2000 offers all the standard features of Promise's classic two-channel FastTrak cards with new performance twists that leave other controllers in the dust. The 32-bit, 66MHz PCI interface is ready for motherboards that allow data transfers up to 266MB per second. The best-selling Promise BIOS with 48-bit Large LBA support instantly optimizes Ultra ATA/133 drive speeds and recognizes drive sizes exceeding 137GB each for huge array storage capacities.

Pros: great tech support Cons: instruction manual doesn't tell you everything
Reviews & Ratings for Fastrak TX2000 Ultra ATA/133 Controller RAID Host Bus Adapter I had an old computer and needed to just use it for data backup/archiving but I wanted RAID mirror. I needed to use IDE drives. For $99 this was great and also gave me full drive capacity which the computer itself would only give me to 137gb. I had problem getting it working but a call to the tech support people got me straighted out quickly, and the guy on the phone knew straight away what I did wrong and to get me fixed up. I love it when you talk to someone who actually has the answer. Their support is wonderful.
