Hey Folks,
As an update, I had no problems with the Addonics ADSA3GPX1-2E (SiL Based).
It cost me around $30 from Amazon.

The SIL 3132 chipset based cards are the only ones that worked for me.
My setup is now working 100%...
I've got the ADSA3GPX1-2E Raid 5 2CH Esata II Pcie in place.
My drive order changed (sda is no longer my OS drive, it's now sdf)
My raid drives are now sda/sdb/sdc/sdd/sde and I'm recovering the raid.
I tried setting my mobo SATA chipset to AHCI but it would only boot if the external 8-bay...
You can find quite a few based on Marvell 9123, 9128 etc chipsets. I've had terrible luck with the Marvell 9123 and drives dissapearing after some random reads/writes (I'm using RHEL6).
I just bought the card you're talking about I think...
Apologies for duplication of info above.
Unfortunately I spoke too soon, after about 20minutes of running the rr62x module I started seeing hpt resets and FIS calls were unable to go through. The same behaviour occurred - drives were booted out of the controller one at a time and were no...
I think the issue I was having is from using a buggy marvel chipset

This was exactly my issue...
I think I might have fixed this issue by just swapping the cards. I'm currently recovering the raid (purposely failed a drive to fully test the superblock thing from earlier).
This was a Marvel chipset that will randomly offline disks, looking at forum posts and behavior.
avoid marvel...
Ok, as an update, I think I'm having multiple issues.
The resync finished but something else made all the drives fail out of the array. Also, I seem to have a mystery "md127" device appear occasionally and usurp my /dev/sdc.
I also feel like NCQ being enabled might be an issue as I'm using...
Thanks for the helpful post. I believe I am in the same issue with my new XFS mdadm raid6.
The /dev devices have changed in my system and It looks like the superblocks are incorrect on the disks. My hunch is that because I had my old array and new array hooked up in the same box when I built...
