Pros & Cons
Pros
Close to onboard motherboard sata speeds. Can be used to add a couple of drives in the system to use with unraid. Truenas turns a 10-year-old dell optiplex into a nas box.
Each port has its own set of jumpers that must be moved if you want to use both esata ports. By default the jumpers are set so both internal sata ports are enabled. It also has the advantage of making it easier to reach the sata plugs when compared to... Read More
Cons
All the the drives that were connected to the 10gtech card are bricked. All report no media found when connected via a sata->usb card. Only hunch is maybe that heatsink isn't doing its job and it gets warm and starts to fail over 5-10 minutes.
Highlights
Quality
Seems like a solid product made on modern manufacturing equipment.
The product is well built and great quality.
Checked website and no longer made nor any docs.
0 newer and support 2 lanes of traffic rather than just one.
Price
This is the cheapest, newest and most compatible.
For the money i decided to add a 6 port card as opposed to a 4 port card giving me a little room for expansion.
Got this to raid 0 6 cheap ssd's with mdadm as a temporary thing.
Shipping
Came in great timing and everything i expected.
I had a fast response from them and a replacement part within a week!
Packaging/appearance
This actually came in a finger painting set case, which got me confused and started the incorrect product received process, but... Read More
No documentation provided with the package, but the on-line schematic is accurate.
Competitiveness
It also has the advantage of making it easier to reach the sata plugs when compared to the plugs on my mb, which are harder to reach.
I recommend this controller to anyone who is running truenas system to expand or replace their sata ports.
I've tried similar ones in the past and they either wouldn't install because of weird dimensions or just wouldn't work.
Buyer beware: the vast majority of cards you see here at all different prices use the older, less compatible, asmedia asm106x chipset.

I didnt bother to bench anything as previously stated i was using cheap drives so i doubt that it would have provided any useful data about this card and its abilities vs the claims here
