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