I have this card and have 2x WD75000AAKS drives attached to it. I recently got this card and hooked the 750gb drives to it.

The problem?
During boot the Raid screen appears and detects one 750 gives the model number and then just sits there with a blinking dot. Hit the power button computer shuts off instantly.
Ive tried all combinations of the two drives possible, moved the card to different PCI slots and still the same problem.
Even tried forcing it into SATA I spec as per WDs FAQ.
Hook up smaller drives, WD5000AAKS and an old WD 250GB drive, and boots no problems.

Im stumped, any suggestions? :confused:
 
sounds like your out of luck and that card doesnt like those drives, those things tend to happen when using a budget card. RMA it and get something better or at least different.
If your looking for a great budget card look no further than this
I have used probably 10-15 of these on some of my older pcs that i wanted sata drive in, and have put these in my friends computers and they all just work.
