Also, keep clear of anything that has straps (jumper blocks) to select
internal/external ports (*even if said jumper blocks are not installed in
the printed circuit board*). They cause violations of SATA3 phy (electrical
signaling) parameters, any board that does this is crap. And "crap" pretty
much describes 90% of the "generic" SATA3 HBAs, unfortunately.
