Most "IDE RAID" products from Promise or Highpoint are not real "HW RAID" at all. The needed calculations are done in Software (in bios/windows/linux driver). For real hardware IDE raid, look at the Escalade series from 3ware or the most expensive cards from Promise (those have even own memory).
I have to second this recommendation.IMO the 3ware RAID cards are THE solution for hardware ATA RAID. Everything else is substandard (firguratively AND literally) when compared to the 3ware.
Yes, there's the Promise SuperTrak (that's the card Eduard alluded to), but it costs *twice* what the comparable 3ware card does, and is 25% slower.
