I need a SATA card with 8 ports. Raid isn't required as I will be using this with WHS.
I have my eyes on this one. SUPERMICRO AOC-SAT2-MV8

1. Is it fast enough to max out gigabit lan?
2. Does it support 2 TB drives? I've seen people say different things.
I have 4x Seagate Barracuda LP ST32000542AS I plan on using with it. Just recieved the drives. Have update the firmware on all of them to the latest version and running a long test with SeaTools before using any of them.
Here is the motherboard I am using, the card will need to work with it.
