yes right now if someone were to ask me which controller to buy it will be the 9211, hands down. BUT not the 9211-4i, it has a x4 bus, while the 9211-8i has a x8 bus. there will be those that say that the x4 bus wont matter, but they are stuck on the 3gb/s generation thinking. future devices with 6gb/s implementation will be able to saturate that x4 lane. i wonder why in the hell they did that on the -4i but oh well.
9211-8i it is!!! no one will come close to matching it on price v performance, and the best solutions out there will only beat it by a very very slim margin. the 1231 only beat it by 2 percent!
