Yes, and it is almost as old as the computer. I built it in an Antec case, with an Asus 2.4GHz P4 mobo. The ATA133 card uses Silicon Image chips, and has worked great all these years.

But this morning, after I copied all the data from D: to E:, I got another Write Failed warnings, and the file it reported was on E:. Then later, another warning reporting on a system file, which would have been on C:, which is living on the nobo’s IDE controller..

So, I might be having a mobo meltdown. I am greatly concerned.

So long as you keep your data backed up, you can play it by ear.

"Backed up" means a copy is stored on some data medium that is:
A) Not permanently connected to the computer (USB drive, DVD-R, whatever) AND
B) Accessible by some other computer.
