Yea its got 2 external sata ports.
Jumpers switch them between internal\External. Got a couple PCI-E sata II controllers like that.
It should not make a difference tho.
Did you flash the bios?
Just finished reloading my games and such on my Windows 98 PC, played at least a few DOS games (even in MS-DOS mode) and a couple of Windows games, and the SIL3512 is still going strong. Ran the benchmark and results are still the same. For both drives, I'm getting maximum speeds between 50 and 60 MB/S. And the card runs just fine with the RAID BIOS version 4.3.79. So, I'd say that the migration was a success. The only other thing to do in the future is to see if I can shove a Solid State Drive into the computer, but I figured I would stick to regular SATA HDDs for now until I have enough money to get a couple of 128GB SSDs.

The entire point for these cards for me, is the future.
They play nice with Sata III devices, large Sata III SSD's are gonna plummet in price in the next few years.
Already 128gb ssd's can be had for nearly the same price as a quality 32gb CF card, making me want to abandon that route which I was originally gonna take with alot of my machines.
