Want the throughput of the next-gen workstations' high-speed PCI Express (PCIe) connections but don't want to shell out for a new computer yet? If so, you'll want to check out NetCell's Revolution three-port and five-port SATA storage processing card, which is said to deliver up to 3x the bandwidth of USB- and FireWire-based networked storage gear. The board also allows you to create secure hardware RAID levels 0, 1, and 3. Revolution's SyncRAID technology makes for straightforward plug-and-play simplicity because the onboard BIOS automatically recognizes the hard drives and recommends various RAID configurations. You won't need drivers either when installing to Windows XP, 2000, or Linux.
