Well I have 2 Maxtor DM10 200GB 6V200E0 drives. Windows has been being a bastard about using them at all(ie: when one is plugged in windows wont boot). They are SATA 3.0GB(don't know if they are SATA II or not :eek: ).
I figured the best way to go about using them(hell even if I did get them working w/o a card I wouldn't get the full speed) was to get a controller card. I'm looking to spend around $70. Any ideas? (specs are in the sig)
 
if you don't need any special features, i'd go for any card that has a Silicon Image chip, since I'd say that they are the most common, so they are likely to have the longest driver support.
 
Well I just slapped a card with the Silicon Image chip in there. Picked it up at CompUSA for $30 and everything is working smoothly. Thank you for the suggestion :).
