I don’t know this card, but the industry standard SATA cards are from Cal Digit, Sonnet and Firmtek. They all work wonderfully, and are all under $300.

You started your post and then did not complete it. I have an Adaptec 1420Sa with 4 x 1 Sata drives. I am running Win 7 64bit. My supplier installed the drives and the card. While on booting up I am able to see the two raid drives and their configuration- that’s as far as it gets. I cannot see them on the desktop. I have emailed Adaptec but have no response after two weeks. There is a convoluted linus setup CD which requires a floppy disk(to create a driver disk) but sadly I have no floppy drive. The Adaptec Driver CD boots up but then hangs with 4 penguins and many rows of dots. Yes I am taking this back to the installer but it would be so much more convenient if anyone could advise me how to get these drives on the desktop. Have had no problems at all with adaptec on my Media 100 and Mac – this is the first.
Many thanks
