Running Intel z77 MB is asus z77 maximus v extreme. I only have 2x Intel Sata 6 ports and I really do want more. The other 4 sata 6 ports are from Asmedia and the speed loss is horrible compared to intel.

Is my only option upgrading to z1070? Is CPU performance worth it? I using i7 3770k OC @4.2

Thanks
 
They don't sell them at OC. Best way is to find a used one on the bay that's been ripped from a server, then your only paying a fraction of the price.

I'm in the same boat and can't see the point of spending between 500 and 1500 to upgrade so I purchased a 9240-8i off the bay for 60 squid with the hope of crossflashing to hba mode (yet to unbox this and try ... I'll do this when I'm on holiday in a few weeks time).

Bear in mind the card will use an 8x PCI-e slot
