Hi, I have a fedora33 server with an E31240 @ 3.30GHz processor with
32GB that I'm using as a backup server with 4x4TB 7200 SATA disks in
RAID5 and 2x480GB SSDs in RAID1 for root. The motherboard has two
SATA-6 ports on it and the others are SATA3.
Would there really be any benefit to purchasing a new controller such
as this for it instead of the onboard for the 4x4TB disks?

The server is relatively responsive, but I was just wondering if I
could keep it running for a few more years with a faster SATA
controller.
I'm also curious if the SATA cables have improved over time, or are
the same cables I purchased five years ago just as good today?
If plan to use addon cards, please consider LSI SAS9211-8i cards. Well
supported and reliable.
