I have a TurboMax ATA/66 card right now in my Quicksilver Dual. I am having problems with it now. I had the card (along with the same identical drives) in a G4/400. Everything worked fine, they should up on the desktop with no problems, at times and this only happened two or three times, one drive would not show and I had to turn the machine off and check the internal ATA cables connected to the drives, turn the machine back on, and all was fine.
However anytime my QS gets turned on chances are they don't show up at all. So I have to turn it off and blah blah blah.
Is it the TurboMax card? Should I instead get the Sonnet Tempo card? I know there are two versions - the regular card $100 and the RAID version $190. All my drives are Maxtor, two are 40gb (7200) and the other two are 60gb (7200). But with OS X supposedly having RAID software capabilities (at least I think I understood that part right) would a hardware RAID controller be necessary?
I just don't want to have to keep turning the machine on and off just to get my drives on the desktop.
Anyhelp is appreciated.
BTW would the round ATA/66 IDE cables help?
