I guess PNY hates someone or the other way around

I guess PNY hates someone or the other way around :p :p :p

Don't take the word "hate" seriously. I am joking.

I did some SSD benchmark on my Rampage IV Extreme. 2 SSDs tested, OCZ Vector 256GB and PNY Optima 480GB (SMI). I noticed something very strange. Asmedia SATA 3 6gbps ports are slower than the ones from X79 chipset, which is understandable. PNY Optima 480GB suffers if Asmedia driver is installed, v2.0.8.0, v2.0.8.1, or v2.0.9.1.

Take OCZ Vector 256GB results as a reference

Note that "AS SSD Seq Write" speed here, with any driver tested, is much slower than no driver, X79 SATA3 port, or even X79 SATA2 port.

I am not sure it is an AS SSD issue because one other tool I used has the same result as posted below. The strange thing is other 2 tools show no difference (very minor difference) with different drivers or without driver.

Large amount of data screenshots below:

OCZ Vector was also tested on Asmedia port with v2.0.8.0 driver but I pasted the wrong text in the note section.
