Due to request posting limitations, bandwidth of sil3132 is limited to around 120MB/s with the minimum pci-e payload size (128bytes) which is used by most consumer systems. However, write throughput can be slightly (~3%) increased by increasing the max read requeset size. Configure it to 4k which is the maximum supported. This optimization is also done by SIMG's windows driver.
