| Re: Sata Card For Optical Drives Sure. I use a PCI card with the Silicon Image SiI 3114 chip. The SiI 3112 also works well according to posts I've seen here. Here's the one I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...l%2bsiI%2b3114 I was a bit concerned during installation because the manual doesn't agree with the actual BIOS installed in the card. I thought for a while it would only do RAID but it turns out the latest BIOS and driver can do either RAID or non RAID. Device Manager shows it as a RAID device and I can only install the RAID driver, but it works for non-RAID. It works perfectly except for one thing. I can't install XP when I boot up the XP install disc in it. I guess I could if I wanted to hit F6 and insert a floppy, but I have easier ways of installing XP, including using an external USB drive. Everything else works, including booting up Linux or BartPE. |
