I've had success with the SIIG SC-SAE012-S2. PCIe and no problems
booting off of it in 2008.11.

Hi,
Does anyone know of a reliable 2 or 4 port SATA card with a solid
driver, that plugs into a PCIe slot, so that I can benefit from the
high read speeds available from adding a couple of SSDs to form my
ZFS root/boot pool?
(Each SSD is capable of reading at around 150-200 MBytes/sec)
After initially thinking I would move my existing 6-drive RAID-Z2
array to a new 8-port SATA controller, I finally decided to leave
the drives connected to the motherboard SATA ports, and instead to
get an additional smaller SATA card to allow me to connect 2 boot
drives to form a mirror.
For anyone considering a controller card to support 8 SATA drives,
see this thread which has got some great comments from people
experienced with using these larger cards. No doubt I will refer to
it again when I build another storage system one day :)

Thanks,
