    Onboard SATA vs. PCI-e SATA

    A good and cheap option is the IBM M1015 for ~60$ on ebay. It's made by LSI model 9240-8i (250$) and there is lots of info here on that card or at servethehome. You need a pcie 8x slot available. If you can put down a little more money (130$), IBM M5015 for the onboard cache and option for a...

    HBA Recommendation for X58 system

    I suggested IT because Deimos said "I'm not worried so much about raid". Reading fast I thought he said "I don't care for RAID" lol! I always believed FastPath was needed for high demand RAID array. No so much for just a SSD with OS. I guess I wil have to do my own testing. :)

    HBA Recommendation for X58 system

    Flash it to IT mode (target) and use your mobo to manage RAID if need be. At least, you will be connected to pcie 8x instead of pcie 1x (marvell 9128) or two pcie lanes with (marvell 9182). Marvell 9182 is ok with only one ssd connected to it.

    HBA Recommendation for X58 system

    I'm using an IBM M1015 (LSI 9240-8i) flashed to 9211-8i-IT with my Asus Rampage III extreme X58. Same here I can't enter LSI BIOS even tho it boot successfully, then the system boot to Windows 7-64. I'm using my mobo BIOS to setup RAID 1. I could also use LSI megaRAID Storage Manager within...

    SSD in SATA 2 mobo?

    Sooo, you're telling me that your SSD is faster on the Intel SATA2 controller than on the M1015 (LSI 9240-8i) PCIe 8x?

    SSD in SATA 2 mobo?

    A solution would be to install a SATA controller that do SATA3 on a PCIe slot. That is what I did recently with my Asus Rampage III extreme to have full speed out of my SATA3 HDD and SSD. You need a PCIe 8x slot. Look at IBM M1015 controllers. You can buy them for around 60$USD on ebay.

    processor / MB that can be upgraded in the future
