The best and fastest non-RAID PCIe sata card I could find

I went to college with a degree in computer science and computer science. I'm pretty computer savvy and this was the best non-raid PCIe sata card addon I could find. It uses one of two chipsets that I could (currently) find on Revain that support the PCIe 3.0 standard, which doubles the bandwidth compared to the previous PCIe 2.0 standard. This card uses the ASMedia ASM1166 chipset. Another chipset that supports PCIe 3.0 is the Zhiwei JMB585 chipset. Most add-on sata port cards you can find are

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy to set up and works flawlessly!

Card worked right out of the box and plugged into my Windows 10 computer. No setup issues, driver issues or conflicts with any other SATA expansion card I have installed. Couldn't be happier.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Repair

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Easy setup for 6 additional memory ports

+ Error free installation on Win7/64 desktop PCs with native drivers. The only thing I don't like is the boot lag, which is 4x slower than without the card. Not sure if it has to do with polling ports at boot.

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • sad package
