Amazon users aren't impressed.  But the limitation is really the PCIe x1
v2 bus interface: 500MB/sec.  Two SSDs would certainly overwhelm it, and
any other similar card.

I have a similar card, the Highpoint 620, in an older system at home
(PCIe v1): it maxes out at 200MB/sec.

So, it depends on what you want it to do.

{I'll let others make card recommendations--I prefer to *listen* to those.}
