So it's a PCI controller like this? ASM1062 is a chipset, could be onboard or pci -- need to specify.
If it's PCI and consumer hardware its probably not a PCIE 2.0 x4 (or anything higher) so probably x1 or x2. x1 can do 500MB/s, x2 can do twice that. But that's going to be shared between read and write across all drives. If this is your configuration I'd assume you are bottlenecking the bus. If you have onboard (on the motherboard) SATA ports I would offload as many drives to those as you can.
YUP! This. USB 3.0 works just fine. The MediaSonic Probox is fairly popular around here. It supports both USB 3.0 and ESATA. You'll need to make sure your ESATA supports port multipliers, or get an add-on card. Here is the one that I use. Works great and can support 2 of the MediaSonic ProBoxes.
