If you want a high end card, go with LSI. If you're looking for something at a consumer price point, any card from StarTech is a good starting point. Most of these cards use AHCI compatible Marvell chipsets and have driver support built into the kernel. If you have a particular question about a model, providing the model number never hurts.
My goal is to use a current SATA 3.0 (6 Gbps) SSD as the system drive in older computers that have SATA 2.0 (3 Gbps) ports and PCIe 2.0 x1 expansion slot(s).
How about the StarTech PEXSAT32? http://www.startech.com/Cards-Adapters/HDD-Controllers/SATA-Cards/2-Port-PCI-Express-SATA-6-Gbps-Controller-Card~PEXSAT32 David
