The only solution saddled with a first-generation PCIe x1 interface, Gigabyte’s eSATA controller incurs a slightly higher write latency.
A chipset-direct connection gives the P55’s native SATA interface a big boost in IOPS. This is the only place where the lowly USB 2.0 interface is somewhat competitive with higher-bandwidth third-party solutions.
