Instead of editing my last reply I made a new one.
When I got home this evening I ran some more tests comparing the Intel Controller to the Marvell Controller.
My conclusions:
The Intel controller had much smoother results and consistently higher writes then the Marvell Controller.
Analysis:
Even though the Marvell controller had higher reads, they were sporadic and sometimes fell short of Intel's results. You can see this on the 256 Length test. In the past I have done these same benchmarks with Microsoft's AHCI driver on the Marvell controller but the writes were still at least 20MB off of what Intel gave me. From now on I will be using my OCZ Vertex 3 on the Intel SATA 2 controller
Intel AHCI Controller Driver: 10.6.0.1002
Marvell AHCI Controller Driver: 1.2.0.1016
All tests were done using the modified BIOS with the updated option ROM's.
