All-- thanks for the help. I found someone nearby with a older P5 motherboard with a PCI-X slot. Was able to get it configured and up. I think the lesson (which we all know, but don't always follow) is that RAID 5 isn't a backup system, and that redundant backups are always needed.

Unfortunately, it is one of the cards that do not. It was the first thing I tried. It *will* work in a 64 bit PCI slot. But of the eight other machines I have, none have a 64 bit slot. Thanks for the response.

My Tyan S2882 has died, and it was the only PCI-X board I owned. I was running 3Ware 9550SX-8LP with a RAID 5 array that I now need to transfer. The card is a PCI-X, and I've got nothing to install it to. I really need some suggestions. The first question is this: if I get a new card...

This has also been my experience. Thanks for the response.

Anyone have any recommendations for a KVM switch for use between a Mac Mini and a Windows Vista machine? Both my keyboard and mouse are USB. Thanks.

Well.... I fried the motherboard while attempting to get the drive in. Just a heads up: Sony only provides you easy access to replacing the memory on this model. To reach the hard drive enclosure, you have to remove the keyboard, front face plate and touch pad. Not sure if I short circuited...

I would love to install the SAMSUNG 2.5" 32GB SATA II drive in my Sony VAIO VGN-N395E. Of course, I'm not looking for full SATA2 performance out of this drive. I'm more wondering if it will function as a SATA device. Or do I need a true, older SATA device? Any input?
