Biostar M7MIA: Additional RAID Controller
The Biostar M7MIA is furnished with an additional RAID controller allowing the connection of up to eight IDE peripherals with Ultra-DMA/100.
A view of the IDE connections of the Biostar M7MIA.
The most striking feature of the Biostar is the integrated RAID controller (Highpoint), which can be addressed using different methods. Although the performance of this board is quite satisfactory when compared to the other two testing candidates, it is still placed behind the Asus A7M266, but ahead of the Gigabyte GA-7DX. The Biostar board is also equipped with a CNR-slot, which is known to be pretty useless to end users, as corresponding peripherals are still not available.
