I don't get it, why the heck are their SATA controllers so bad?
We are talking of a 200MB/sec difference between AMD's (or Intel's) chipset and ASMEDIA's.
Most of their chipsets use PCIE gen 2 X1 = ~500MB/s.
Doing some benchmarks with a SSD, the ASMEDIA gets ~330MB/s, the integrated controller gets ~520MB/s.
So, what is the factor that is making them so slow?
