- as you mentioned, without the battery backup the cache on the
controller would have to be write-through, which disabled much of
the advantage of the thing.
I can't have NCQ on the NVidia SATA ports,
Yes, very annoying to choose hardware that supports NCQ and then
discover you can't use
Hi,
is there any PCIe SATA controller with 8 ports that has decent FreeBSD
drivers, including NCQ, and decent performance on the level of the ICH
or Nvidia onboard ports?
I don't need hardware RAID. I suppose I can use an 8-port Areca as a
dumb controller, but that's kinda wastish.
Thoughts?

As far as i know, there's no NCQ for the ata(4) driver, so you can only
use SCSI TCQ and NCQ on

Well, an Areca might give you the flexibility to use true RAID and even
on single disks you can benefit from
