HardwareCentral heeft een comparison gemaakt tussen twee RAID controllers namelijk, de Iwill sIDE RAID66 en de Promise FastTrak66:
As one of only two ATA-66 RAID cards available today, the sIDE RAID66 has the potential to gain a fair market presence, and find its own little niche. Of course, when only two products are competing in a single arena, there is much interest in how they compare. Given that, it was only natural that the question we received more than any other after our review of the Iwill sIDE RAID66 was: “How does it compare to the Promise FastTrak66?”.
The FastTrak66 isn’t Promise Technology’s first entry into the IDE RAID arena; that was its original FastTrak. The only real difference between the original and the FastTrak66 is the latter’s UDMA/66 capability. When we factor in the time spent adapting the original FastTrak, Promise has well over a year worth of experience with IDE RAID on its side, making it the seasoned veteran in this competition. Granted, Iwill has its fair share of experience with SCSI and even IDE controllers; however, this is its first venture into the world of IDE RAID. In any event, the Iwill card looked to be a good, solid performer, at least capable of giving the FastTrak66 a run for its money.
[...] Deciding upon a "winner" at the end of a comparison is sometimes easy, and sometimes very difficult. Having fully explored both cards, I find this a very difficult decision to make. Both cards clearly have faults and strengths. Thus, one card may be the right choice for one type of user, and yet the absolute worst choice for another. In light of this, I will not draw a general conclusion, and say ‘Card X is better than card Y”. Instead, here are some general statements; based upon the type of user you are, decide which factors are more important to you, and make your decision based on those criteria.
De Promise FastTrak66 bleek gemiddeld net iets beter te zijn dan de Iwill controller maar is ook duurder (je kan natuurlijk ook een Promise Ultra66 ombouwen naar FastTrak 66 ).
