I suggest that you avoid Silicon Image 3132, they have data corruption issue

ports at the same time, at full speed.
Stating this opinion based on a very limited number of such reports is
irresponsible. If the issue is a bad PCB from a couple of vendors,
state the vendors and the card model and rev. DO NOT paint the SATA
chip itself as BAD and something to avoid. Case in point:
Valid point. The card referenced in that thread is a generic unbranded
card made in China and bought off the shelf from a computer store in
Dubai, UAE. It has CE, FCC & C-tick marks on it but no approval numbers
and the only code on the device is PI43132-8X2A written under the boot rom.
