RTL9201R supports trim and uasp its the best bang for buck chip by far with the best featureset
and is my current goto chip bang for buck
My Ranking for current Sata Chipsets
1)ASM235CM 10Gbps
2)ASM225CM 5Gbps (ASM235CM locked at 5Gbps and can be flashed with ASM235CM firmware but is still locked at 5Gbps as its done at the hardware level)
3)RTL9201R
ASM235CM Costs me about £14 for an enclosure (as no aliexpress manufacturers really use the chip only ugreen who want £14 ish)
ASM225CM Costs me about £5 for an enclosure
RTL9201R Costs me about £2.50 for an enclosure
ASM235CM Gets about 540Mb/s
ASM225CM/RTL9201R Gets about 430Mb/s
ASM115X is obsolete dont bother with them
Same for JMS576/578
I have
5 x ASM235CM
1 x ASM225CM
15 x RTL9201R
2 x JMS576 (I dumped some old 500GB non ssd's in these 2 and called it a day unless something comes up to flash it for trim)
10 or so 2.5" Enclosures that i dont use (Shucked Drives) ASM1151/ASM1153/JMS576/JMS578 etc
15 or so 3.5" Enclosures that i dont use (Shucked Drives) Usually ASM115X but varies as above)
Here's MY RTL9201R's with Price (I like the finish of the Q6 the most but all UTHAI are the same PCB just different Enclosure Finish)
