Question: Linux?
Document: Very reasonably priced. Worked flawlessly as a high-speed AHCI-compliant eSATA adapter on my Debian Linux 7.0 system. No kernel tweaking required. Lets me send data to my external hard drives 5X as fast as USB2.0. [And if I had a faster external drive, I'm sure the adapter could keep up.]
great card but do not support old motherboards like gigabyte or asus with soket 939.working great with new MB.
You can order from them online, but when you have prime, what's the point?
Wrote Syba back, sent them a screen capture of the HP error message page, asked them if they had a similar product with a smaller ROM-footprint. I got no response; thanks a bunch, Syba. Returned the Syba to Amazon, posted this negative review, and bought aStarTech 4-port cardto see how that works. Stay tuned:).5/30 UPDATE: The StarTech card arrived.
Worked as advertised. Gave new life to older sata 2 system. Would purchase again if needed.
Windows 7 Pro recognized the device loaded drivers and it worked immediately.
This was an no brainer  low cost SATA 3 with  raid I use it in my music media server to run a 1tb (2x500gb)  RAID While I had  A Raid capable mother board I was unable to configure the onboard raid to be secondary storage, The Syba solved the problem perfectly as it took over as RAID control  and left me 2 more SATA ports on the MB for my hot swap trays.
This ASMedia 1061 based controller works nicely on my PC, no issues so far.CrystalDiskMark indicates 370+MB/s for both sequential read and write, which is the most I would expect off a PCI-Express rev 2 x1 interface. Having internal SATA ports and being configurable is a plus, since I am really using it as an internal controller for the moment. It can also detect drives attached during boot, although I have not tried booting directly off an external drive.
The controller is competitively priced. The instructions are Chinglish. There are jumpers to control whether ports are internal or esata. The instructions for changing the jumpers are not intuitive. After installation my computer would not boot. I received a memory error message. The problem turned out to be a conflict with the network boot capability that my Lenovo came standard with. I disabled the network boot capability and it worked fine. If you need to be able to boot from a network then this card may not be for you.
Re-attached the cable after W7 booted and the drive appeared. I just couldn't boot with the drive attached to the card. E-mailed Syba tech support and got a response "Please go into your BIOS Utility Manager and disable "Boot from add on card" or something similar to that. It sounds like your system is attempting to boot from the Seagate HD." I checked the BIOS; the boot procedure from my 180GB Intel SSD primary was in the correct order.
Answer: The ASMedia ASM1061 chip used on this SATA controller is handled by the standard AHCI driver found in the Linux kernel.  Separate installation of drivers from Syba is *not* required.  Just install the card and hook up your drives.  Everything should be automatically recognized.If you're not familiar with Linux at all, I suggest reading the Wikipedia page on Linux:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux.  It's a computer operating system, much like Microsoft Windows (for desktop and laptop PCs) or Mac OSX (for Apple computers).  It runs on a very broad range of computers, but most people use it on PC hardware.
