For those requiring only two additional SATA ports, the Syba SY-PEX40039 may be better choice, since it uses the ASMedia 1061 chip that was commonly included in mobos.

I have this card and its works great. You certainly won't get SATA III speeds on even a single port since its PCIe 2.0 X 1 so 500MB/s max. I have 2 7K3000 2TB 3.5" drives in RAID 0 and get 300MB/s tops which ain't bad for a spinner. Great for JBODs and software RAIDs however.

I got two of these, they are working nicely. Interesting, I didn't know about the 6tb limit.
