PCIe 2.0 x1 can only handle 4Gbps. Those are not good for anything except SATAI and single port SATAII. ...what kind of moron makes controller cards with x1 connector anyway? I predict if they make it at all, and lowPoint does not pull them and re-market as SATA1, they'll be on *Bay for 10-15 bucks. Come to think of it, that's prbly what they are: SATA I cards w/ a new label. Highpoint should be ashamed of themselves …and then run out of town by consumers.
