HighPoint RocketRAID 404 and Rocket 133S IDE controller cards

Dan's Data has posted a review on the HighPoint RocketRAID 404 and Rocket 133S IDE controller cards
ATA133 - or Ultra DMA/133, or Ultra ATA/133, or any number of other names mainly made out of parts of these ones - is not a big deal, technically speaking. Neither was ATA100. Neither, really, was ATA66.
All of these are ever-faster AT Attachment (ATA) drive transfer modes. ATA, commonly known as IDE, is the standard used by the vast majority of PC mass storage devices - hard drives, CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives, and various other things. SCSI makes a strong showing for high-end computing, but in computers with four or fewer drives (not counting the floppy drive), that're used for ordinary desktop computer tasks, SCSI has no significant advantage and costs a lot more. So ATA, or IDE, it is.
