What kind of PCI SATA controller do I need for a WD 750G
Posted by Terry on April 12th, 2008


Is what I need a PCI SATA 2 card?

I am trying to get a WD 750 working with an old Abit KT7A RAID mobo.

The PCI card I currently have is a SiI3112 A

It doesn't matter one single bit if that drive has died.

First you can try to get a BIOS upgrade for the SiL Card,
to allow it to support the larger card. If that does not work,
the current Promise SATA cards support LBA48, which is enough
for 750GB (and quite a bit more).

My search skills are not good, but I did go to Silicon Image's web
page to look. Maybe someone can direct me to one, but I don't think
one exists. This is what I found.

No it isn't.


Maybe because SII don't do cards? They are chipmakers.
