Thanks. I did see that. But, in newegg, there are reviews dated much
later than above complaining about ubuntu 14.04 installs failing with
ASMedia enabled. So, I concluded that it is iffy. I could not see any
consistent message of positive result.
I use ASMedia controllers myself, onboard and as standalone card.
They were cheap (much cheaper than getting a board with additional
ports using the same chipset really) and I don't need the PCIe slots
for anything else.
They work fine in AHCI mode for HDD, with mdadm software raid.
If you have a CD drive hooked to it the kernel will crash.
Until you add libata.atapi_passthru16=0 to your cmdline.

If you don't mind, could you share with me the standalone card that you
use?
I used SYBA SI-PEX40064
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124064)
and under load (mkfs.ext4 -c -c on just one drive) it drops the drives
and a reboot
is required to get them back. This means I cannot put raid component on this
without risking degrading the array. I believe SYBA based on Marvell
88SE9215.
BTW, have you stressed your card through a rebuild/checkarray?
Thanks
Ramesh
