PATA Drives via PCI adapter on Dell 4550

Asked by royaltech in Computer Hard Drives

Tags: dell, 4550, pci, pata, adapter

After my second IDE failure within a month, I want to add a PATA card and two RAID 1 drives to my Dell 4550.  Will there be a perfomance bottle neck going thru the PCI archetecture?  This adapter card boasts 300MBS compatabilty, but the card clock is only 66MHZ, which is paralell speed.  I will use an IDE drive as boot, so this is just for multimedia storage.  Does anyone know the pros and cons of using PATA on an older (2002) system, or should I just stick with PATA?

Thanks, CoreyStart Free Trial
