I'm looking for a 4 port, x8 PCI Express card which supports port multiplier, NCQ and hot swap and has decent performance. Based on https://ata.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Hardware,_driver_status it seems that an AHCI or silicon image based controller would be the best choices. It appears that AHCI chipsets are mostly found in motherboard SATA controllers. I found a few different Silicon image based cards, though it looks like most of them seem to be reselling the same cards. http://eshop.macsales.com/item/DAT%20Optic/ESATAPCIE8/ This one seems to be a raid version of the one above, but I prefer non-hardware raid for data archival purposes. http://www.datoptic.com/four-esata-pci-express.html http://www.addonics.com/products/host_controller/adsa3gpx8-4em.asp Does anyone have any experience with any of these cards, or any other good cards which use one of the better drivers.
