Pros & Cons
Pros
Card seems well built so we will see how it lasts under constant home media server load. Comes with 8 sata cables that have locking clips on both ends.
Raid 0 nearly doubles the sata iii disk access, needed now that i have a 32gb 6200 ddr5 ram. Os recognizes the drives not different that drives connected to the mobo. Works with unraid out of the box!
After installing the driver, all 8 drives are recognized correctly. Go into device manager and under sata controllers right click standard sata controller and click update driver.
Cons
Hdd. This is nowhere close to 6gb/s. After installing card and adding disks, they are not recognized by freenas. It works but if you plan on using more than 3 or 4 sata ports, it won't work well.
Search for a github post with prevent-host-driver-in-pci-pass. Lspci -vv shows an asm entry but not marvell chipset. The bios splash screen never shows. Only way to get to bios is to remove card and reboot.

Shipping
Total install time was less than 10 minutes.
Packaging/appearance
No cd came in the box but the card and cables were decently packaged.
The card works great but one of my many pleasures was soiled when i open the package and gave the card a nice sniff and it smel... Read More
Competitiveness
Genrally these more bespoke component retailers are fairly reliable at getting replacements.
This is where it begins to be confusing as there are directories for asmedia, jmicron and marvell which are all possible contro... Read More
I had to go on the internet and find a comparable device and install their drivers since i don't have a cd rom.

Sadly the cables that come with the device are all straight when having 90degree cords would have been ideal
