Sup yal? Looking for a SATA3 raid controller that can push 2 SSDs in raid0 at nearly max, much like the onboard intel stuff. Anybody use anything they can recommend? I'm going to add a second 480GB SSD to my current steam drive since I'm getting pretty darn close to the end of the drive. Don't want to get a cheap $75 one and it only gives me like 50% the performance, but also don't want to spend $300+ on a legit hardware raid card just for my workstation. Figured maybe somebody else here did trial and error and found a nice in-between card that gives you a pretty good percentage of onboard.
I did some google searches and found a card, I can't remember the exact brand, but it was actually better than onboard intel raid. Problem was, it was a $600 hardware raid card. I also found a review of a cheap $75 card, but most of the performance numbers were in the toilet, save for the sequential numbers.
EDIT: I have an Intel x79 board, so I only have the 2 SATA3 Intel ports. No marvel parts
