Storage :: Drive Controllers [PCI Adapters]

To help you efficiently manage your data, we offers a wide range of Hard Disk Drive Controllers - all of which are mounted on cards that easily install into a PCI expansion slot without need for additional drivers.

These upgrades are grouped into one of three categories: those which support IDE (ATA) drives; those which support Serial ATA (SATA) drives; and those which support SCSI drives. There are a variety of secondary options available within each category from the ability to add multiple drives to support for setting up RAID systems.

If you own a PowerMac, or Mac Clone, that is equipped with a PCI expansion slot then you will find a card that fits your needs from the options listed here.

ACard: 48-bit ATA133
