Promise

Since its founding in 1988, Promise Technology, Inc. has the distinction of creating more ground-breaking ˝firsts˝ in EIDE/ATA controller technology than any other firm worldwide. Within two years of entering the controller market, Promise Technology introduced the world´s first IDE cache controller, and the first EIDE chipset. Other major product introductions quickly followed.

During just the last five years alone, Promise developed the first Ultra ATA/33, Ultra ATA/66, Ultra ATA/100, and Ultra ATA/133 controller cards that have been instrumental to the worldwide acceptance of high performance Ultra ATA hard drives. And because Promise is recognized as the first-to-market controller manufacturer for new ATA drives, its controllers have been specifically tested and chosen by the world´s leading OEMs -- Dell, Gateway, Fujitsu-Siemens, and Micron, to name just a few -- for their own systems.

This same period of product development also saw Promise create an entirely new PC market segment, ATA RAID, with the launch of the world´s first IDE/ATA RAID controller, FastTrak(tm) in 1996. Since then, the FastTrak product line became quickly established as the industry standard for high performance, high reliability, and high value -- with millions of units sold.
