In January 2025 I bought 2 x MZHOU PCI Express X1 to 6-Port SATA 3.0 Expansion Card– ASM1166 Controller for £40 each. Today one of them appears to have failed, only recognised intermittently on boot. Swapped it for the other which still works fine. If I buy a SilverStone Technology ECS06, 6 Ports SATA Gen3 (6Gbps) for £60 with the same chip will I get better quality, better reliability, higher speed WHY? The Silverstone needs a 4 lane slot against 1 lane for the MZHOU. What are the decent makes for components nowadays? -- Jeff Gaines Dorset UK Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.
