Default Promise SATA300 TX4 can not read new 1000GB WD Drive

Installed the HD, plugged into the Promise Fasttrak SATA300 TX4, Device Manager shows "device unknown/unreadable"

no firmware or driver updates for the TX4.

What's a good PCI or PCIe based SATA controller card to buy?

best shop around: http://www.webconnexxion.com/raid/index.php

areca site: www.areca.com.tw

I'm loving my 1210 card, PCIE 4 SATA port.

LSI is also a good competitor, and cheaper .

// Forgot it's only for one drive, I gave you some tips for RAID purposes. Mail the shop for a known card that supports the WD, they have good support
