OK. So I returned the Vantec and bought IO Crest SI-PEX40058 card. It has Marvell 88se9230 chipset. It has pumped up the throughput to 538/442 Mb/s from 284/271 of onboard SATA 2. However, after playing around trying to max it out, I see other disavantages. - IOPS dropped 12k/13k. - Samsung...

I wish that this card comes with Marvell chipset but rather Assmedia asm106x. They don't tell on the box what chipset comes with it. Others seem to come with SIL-3114 chipset. No HyperDuo either because of non-RAID card. I don't recommend this card. I bought it because my local Fry's carries it...

Yeah I'm gonna return the Vantec card definitely. It took 26 seconds to boot to Windows login screen. And also shutdown took 20 seconds. I put it back to onboard SATA 300Mb/s - Boot time improved in huge way. Takes 6 seconds...so fast that during the boot driver loading and Windows logo and...

Thanks. So it seems from the old thread I read that ANY SATA3 6Gb/s card will have latency vs onboard SATA 2 controller. I'm not sure whether to stick to native SATA-2 or keep this Vantec SATA-3. I see that IOPS from SATA-3 is MUCH LOWER than native SATA-2. Is it better with MB/s or IOPS...

Hey guys, I'm baffled as my speed is much lower than others. I bought the Samsung EVO 860 SSD 500GB and fresh installed Windows 10. My PC is HP(i5 quad, 6GB RAM, PCIe x1 with Vantec SATA-3 6Gb/s card, etc). Previously with onboard SATA-2(3Gb/s), my sequential read/write = 284/271 Mb/s. Now with...
