Warning: Had major problems when switched to SATA drives with this card. Had to go back to IDE, even with driver updates, etc... Others out there have reported issues with SATA.

No problems here... but there is some latency

[misuspita]

Had it for 4 years now and been with it through 3 different computers by now (I really do hope that my next computer will feature a different Sound card though...) No problem whatsoever. Steady as a rock. And the latency is not that big. For MIDI, when playing ASIO is ok-ish. I can detect it but it's not that annoying. When having many tracks (80+ and 10 VST active) it's sometimes necesary to get to 512 samples buffer.
