hi

i've just bought a s/h dell precision 650 - it has a 37gb scsi hd and i'd like to add more storage.

scsi hds are too expensive so i'm thinking about sata drives.

i know i'll need a sata card so can anyone recommend one? i don't need raid but there's the adaptec 1210sa which looks useful but it's pci 66 rather than pci-x.

also will i get any performance bonus over ide?

thanks

skarpa :)

Hi Skarpa,

Not sure if you've had a response yet, but I'm in the same boat as you.

Tried a generic VIA 6421 chipset IDE SATA controller and the BIOS doesn't recognise the drives at all. So there's one not to try!

Will have a look around and see if anyone does know of a compatible card for the DELL 650.
