They don't seem to have any significant bottlenecks,
so performance is limited only by the bus-width for
the card/slot into which it gets inserted.
Up to a point, somewhere in the mid-100's of MBytes/second.
And the PCIe 7042 / PCI(x) 6042 chips handle FIS-based switching,
plus all of the other SATA bells and whistles, including ATAPI.
I think the only significant thing that's missing now
is power-management, which probably isn't that hard to
add now that there are other in-kernel SATA drivers
that include some PM functionality.
Cheers
