Tom's Hardware review: performance of various chipsets with a modern SSD

[James]

Summary: Z77, Z87, SB750 and A75 are the best performance chipsets currently available. (Also, they are the most modern, so it makes sense.) Surprisingly, Z87 seems to somewhat falter compared to Z77.

It's a decent read. Worth checking out.

interesting indeed.

but it seems to me more of a bottleneck rather than the chips themselves.

I mean don't they have white papers and specs to follow when they say SATA 3 Port ?

Maybe the non Intel chips don't have enough bus bandwidth ?

The Raid controller SAS/Sata 6G ports work well and give the expected speed. but are on PCIe 4x or 8X cards.
