In general, Marvell and JMicron have better compatibility records, while ASMedia may show issues on some older Linux kernels.</p> <p>As of now, commonly used options are JMicron <code>JMB585</code> and ASMedia <code>ASM1166</code>.</p> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Vendor</th> <th>Model</th> <th>PCIe</th> <th>SATA Ports</th> <th>Power</th> <th>Notes</th> <th>SPEC URL</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>jmicron</td> <td>jmb585</td> <td>pcie3.0x2</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 5</td> <td>3W</td> <td>Good</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.jmicron.com/zh-cn/products/list/15" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.jmicron.com/zh-cn/products/list/15</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>jmicron</td> <td>jmb582</td> <td>pcie3.0x1</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 2</td> <td></td> <td>Good</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.jmicron.com/zh-cn/products/list/15" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.jmicron.com/zh-cn/products/list/15</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>asmedia</td> <td>asm1061</td> <td>pcie2.0x1</td> <td>SATA * 2</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>asmedia</td> <td>asm1062</td> <td>pcie2.0x2</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 2</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>asmedia</td> <td>asm1064</td> <td>pcie3.0x1</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 4</td> <td></td> <td></td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>asmedia</td> <td>asm1164</td> <td>pcie3.0x2</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 4</td> <td>1~2W</td> <td>On some Linux kernels, compatibility issues may occur (for example instability or reduced throughput).</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>asmedia</td> <td>asm1166</td> <td>pcie3.0x2</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 6</td> <td>1~2W</td> <td>On some Linux kernels, compatibility issues may occur (for example instability or reduced throughput).</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.asmedia.com.tw/products-list/8a2YQ99xzaUH2qg5/58dYQ8bxZ4UR9wG5</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>marvell</td> <td>9215</td> <td>pcie2.0x1</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 4</td> <td>1W</td> <td>Good</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/storage/marvell-storage-88se92xx-product-brief-2012-04.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/storage/marvell-storage-88se92xx-product-brief-2012-04.pdf</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>marvell</td> <td>9230</td> <td>pcie2.0x2</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 4</td> <td>1W</td> <td>Good</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/storage/marvell-storage-88se92xx-product-brief-2012-04.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/storage/marvell-storage-88se92xx-product-brief-2012-04.pdf</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td>marvell</td> <td>9235</td> <td>pcie2.0x2</td> <td>SATA3.0 * 4</td> <td>1W</td> <td>Good</td> <td><a class="link" href="https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/storage/marvell-storage-88se92xx-product-brief-2012-04.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >https://www.marvell.com/content/dam/marvell/en/public-collateral/storage/marvell-storage-88se92xx-product-brief-2012-04.pdf</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
