Do beware that, depending on your system, it could add time to your POST, and add-in I/O controllers across the board are notorious for having power-saving issues--specifically, waking from sleep/hibernate.
Hanging up at post is my problem now. I have to turn off the external drives when I restart to avoid a POST hang. Sometimes Win10 sees them as not initialized and I have to shut every down, unplug and start back up. . I don't have any problem with sleep wake up and I don't have hibernate enabled. I blame the problems on the cheap controller so your recommendation should solve this. Thanks Greg.

I am not going to setup RAID so just 6 Gbps is fine. What I am looking for is solid reliability and Windows 10 compatibility. at lest 4 ports. I have tried the cheap ones like SYBA and others and they never work that well or very reliably. The one I have now hangs at post if anything is plugged into the Esata port. Istarted looking for a PROMISE but can't find anything that isn't designed for a server. I see a brand called LSI but I am not familiar with it ? Any sugestions?
