Had you been using the A* connectors and did they work reliably? In the past I researched the different sata chipsets, and I don't remember if I found anything definitive on the ASMedia ones. I have personal experience with the marvell ones and they were junk (4pt, pcie-2lanes) as they would randomly drop all 4 disks under heavy load (or smartctl commands), it did not act like a driver issue since the driver was the generic AHCI driver and worked perfectly fine the entire time with the AMD chipset sata ports.
