Hello,
One of my systems has an old Gigabyte Motherboard GA-P67X-UD3-B3
I would like to add two or more SATA 3 or eSATA3 ports.
I only have a one lane PCIe slot available to me.
There are a variety of controller boards on the market for PCIe 1X.
The ones I seem to find most commonly either have AsRock ASM1061 or Marvell 88SE9215 chips.
I will be using 7200 RPM mechanical drives and given that I can only use X1 slot, speed is not really an issue.
What I am wondering is which of these chips would be more reliable in service?
I do already have Marvell drivers loaded for the 88SE9172 that is embedded in the motherboard.
Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.
