No question, but an important note: This card is NOT PCIe x4 - that's just the _mechanical_ connector! Electrically, as with practically all cards of this type, only TWO of the PCIe lanes are used - so in terms of throughput and performance you only have PCIe x2 available. Since it is PCIe 3.0, this is about 2GB/s, i.e. 16Gbit/s, which is not even enough to fully utilise 3 of the 16 SATA ports. With mechanical HDDs, however, the disc is limited to approx. 250MB/s anyway, so the 2GB/s are sufficient for approx. 8 HDDs.
