Startech.com 4 Port Sata III RAID Controller PCI Express Interface Card - PCIe Serial -ATA Controller Adapter - Hyperduo SSD Tiering - Storage Controller (RAID)

Reviews:

With the 4-port PCI Express 2.0 SATA controller card PexsAT34RH with Hyperduo, a computer is added via a PCIe slot (X2) 4 AHCI SATA III ports. This provides several internal 6 GBIT /S compounds with powerful hard drives and Solid State drives (SSDS). Save with the low costs and the large capacity of standard hard drives. By combining SSD and HDD drives to a single data carrier (up to 3 SSD + 1 HDD), Hyperduo can discreetly determine frequently called-up files and move the faster SSD drives and thus the data throughput by up to 80 % of the Increase the performance of SSD drives. (Note: The automatic Hyperduo Storage Tiering feature is compatible with computers that use a BIOS.)
The PCIe SATA controller card supports Port Multiplier (PM), so that several SATA drives connected to one port via a single cable can be - for 7 drives in total (up to 4 drives via PM on a connection and a single drive on the remaining 3 connections). In addition, the SATA controller card offers an effective hardware raid solution with native RAID (0, 1, 1+0) support.
