P7P55D Premium In Da House

Good to know certain people are intent on simply trolling a specific company's product without even informing themselves about it's key features... all stated in the linked article which they surely could've read?

How does the PLX help mitigate the PCIe 2.5Gb/s > SATA 6Gb/s limitation? It takes four 2.5 Gbps 1.1 lanes from the PCH and bonds them into a single 5 Gbps 2.0 lane:

your kidding right?
what they basically say is that there is no hdd that will use more than 600MB/s so 500MB/s is "good enough"... well then why do we need SATA 6GBps in the first place? this is better than hooking up the controller via 1 pciE 1.1 lane, i guess... im curious to see some benchmarks, but i doubt it really makes a diference... id say if you do 6Gbps either do it right or dont do it and offer a raid controller or some extra sata 2 ports instead...

in the end who we really should blame is intel by giving 1156 cpus only 16 pciE 2.0 lanes...
