I have a Perc5i card here. Well actually 4 of them. I wanna use 1 as as SATA controller (RAID feature is not use. I just want to use the 8 SATA ports) for a ZFS FreeBSD setup. I'm just wondering if I would get performance advantages over the built-in Intel ICHx chipset provided SATA ports (other the obvious fact, I can 8 ports instead of the usual 4 or 6 available in the motherboard).
Thank you
