The ATA-66 ports (white plastic) are not RAID by default - just 3rd & 4th channel IDE. The HPT366 controller, Non-RAID (maybe RAID-able), that handles them has many know problems relating to unreliable operation - especially with Win2000/XP. The $25-30 Promise ATA100 card (RAID version more $) is the only realistic option for serious drive operation. Experimenters may want to keep playing with the HPT366 to see what it can do, but my ass already has too many bite marks showing already thanks to Mr. HPT366.
