I've used the 6 onboard SATA ports on my MoBo and I'm looking for an expansion Card.
I have a http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4455#ov which has a total of 8 SATA 6.0 slots, but the 2 don't play well with the 6, not sure if it's because I use ACHI on the 6 or if it's because they are a different chipset, but I could not get the BluRay player to work when I had it plugged into the Marvell slots.
So I'm looking to get a PCI-e expansion card and I'm not finding a lot of reviews/customer feedback on which are good and which to avoid. According to Newegg Customer reviews, this one seems to be the better

and some of the Troubleshooting for other products that use SATA expansion cards have this one recommended, among others. But it runs off the Marvell chipset and where I've had issues with the onboard SATA controllers that use the Marvell chipset, I'd rather than go that route.
Anyone have a good review they can share?
No looking for a RAID specific card.
Thank you in advance.
