I'm a bit leery of Syba after my experience with some of their other fine products. Reviews on newegg say it "Gets a bit hot" and "gets quite hot under load", despite that big heatsink. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16816124027 ---------- > The interesting fact I have seen yesterday, SiI3132 is able to read > 150MB/s, but write 170MB/s.

Seems odd. ---------- >From what I can see, FreeBSD does not support the Marvell 88SE61xx SATA controllers? For example, the SATA2-PCIE1x12 has 4 SATA ports + 1 PATA channel, for US$30.13 http://www.span.com/product_info.php?cPath=24_714_2502&products_id=16957 There is a similar SATA2-PCIE1X11 board with all ports internal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvell_Technology_Group_chipsets points to a patch for OpenBSD: http://www.webservertalk.com/message2133676.html and apparently penguinix supports them. ---------- Then we have this oddball, 2 SATA-300 ports + 2 SATA-150 ports: SYBA SY-PEX40013 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124029
