Nice with 4 ports on a single card

The cards electrical design was a not what I expected though. I expected a card, that, when seen on the PCI bus, it showed a single PCIx4 device with 4 sata ports. Instead it has a pci bridge chip and two marvell controllers. On some PCI systems this could be a problem because each Marvell controller has it's own bios and one may not have enough option rom space for both of them. Also, the bandwidth is not properly spread (2x 2x5.0 instead of 1x 4x5.0).
