Also, keep clear of anything that has straps (jumper blocks) to select internal/external ports (*even if said jumper blocks are not installed in the printed circuit board*). They cause violations of SATA3 phy (electrical signaling) parameters, any board that does this is crap. And "crap" pretty much describes 90% of the "generic" SATA3 HBAs, unfortunately. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
