I just got sick of the Mediasonic boxes randomly dropping drives (USB-C 10Gbit and USB-A 5Gbit) and occasionally corrupting partitions. Lucky I know how to recover partitions... comes in handy from having worked for EMC and NetApp for half my IT career... I just upgraded this week to Silverstone DS380 8 bay backplane SFF case with 8088 to 8087 PCI bracket and LSI 9201 16E SAS/SATA HBA in my NUC Extreme. Just moved the drives over no problem... quite a bit faster and more reliable already! The 9200 just barely fit in the NUC but the 9201 had a little room to spare.
