So here's the story. I have an ASUS P8Z77-V Deluxe MoBo. On-board it has 2 Intel SATA AHCI Controllers, and 2 Marvell 9130 SATA 6G Controllers. The rest of the controllers are all SATA2.
The Marvell controllers don't perform as well as the Intel controllers. I want to move my drives off of the Marvell controllers to some brand of PCI Express disk controller card.
Here's where you guys come in. I want to buy a good PCI-x disk controller card that will perform as good or better than my onboard Intel disk controllers. I don't need more than 4-8 connections for hard drives. The card should be the latest and greatest, ie., RAID, AHCI, SATA3(6G), etc.
Recommendations????
