15 Real performance being the combination of drive and controller. This
16 particular drive was spec'ed out at 500MB/S which is consistent with
17 what the drive did in that link I pointed at earlier this morning.
18
19 I do think now that 200MB/S is about the most I'm going to get from a
20 1 lane PCIe type adapter. I suspect that the biggest reason the link
21 you pointed me toward at NewEgg is spec'ed at 1GB/S is due to it being
22 a 4 lane card?
23
24 Anyway, thanks for the pointer.

26 Cheers,
