I wanna buy a PCI IDE Raid card, because i have the Asus p4c800-deluxe mobo and there seems to be a hardware malfunction in the promise / northbridge controller cards, making the drives write extremely slowly. What is a good, FAST, raid controller carD? I was looking at a highpoint rockraid100, ive had good experiences in the past, Any ideas?

Both <A HREF="http://www.highpoint-tech.com/haproducts.htm" target="_new">Highpoint rocketRaid100</A> at about <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com/2/44/3008-3.htm" target="_new">$50</A> and <A HREF="http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?productId=8&familyId=2" target="_new">Promise FastTrak100 TX2</A> at about <A HREF="http://www.pricewatch.com/2/44/2316-2.htm" target="_new">$70+</A> are good choice for budget and simple RAID solution.

Given my experience, I'd rather have the Highpoint controller than a Promise.

But there are some decent Silicon Image RAID controllers for around 1/2 the price of the Highpoint controller.
