Hello Nikolay,
I received the card and was doing tests with it until i decided to change mounting bracket as the one it arrived didn't have a short one. I was going crazy as i thought it is position that was causing it to not have good contacts and hdds were not showing after boot. I was changing angle to apply a bit more pressure on contact on one side of the pcie slot or the other, removed ground wire and to see if contact to case made any difference but couldn't find the pattern when it worked. When i was close to giving up i inserted sd card with armbian and it booted fine and after i inserted sd card with omv and it booted as well. So it reproduced the same behavior as with ASM1062 card but i can't guarantee that as now i have level 6 logging and previously i didn't have this.
Previous issue from visual point of view, plug power plug in ac socket and monitor sata card leds, if it blinked only once or 1 long and 3 short but quick and nothing after it meant hdds were not recognized. Leds would start blinking after a few moments if the were recognized. Reboot a few times would solve the problem.
Current scenario from visual point of view, plug power plug in ac socket, and notice that leds do not even blink once. Lights start blinking when hdds are recognized. Reboot 3-4 times didn't resolve the problem. Booting to armbian resolved the problem.

I searched them online and found a thread on git

and it refered to below patch

I tried leaving nas turned off for long time but can't reproduce it the problem as easily as i was with old sata card. But powering it down now, disconnecting from power, pressing turnon button a few times and pluging ac cord back into socket reproduced the problem. Restarted 3 times but no fix, disconnected usb dvb-t card and rebooted and i could see that reboot was quicker and i saw the lights flashing right away. Connected card back and tried to reproduce the same but couldn't. I wasn't using usb dvb-t card with old sata card.
Below are just the throughput tests i did.
I tested throughput of pcie card and as it is verison 1 i got 250MB/s of write speed from ram to ssd disk using large block size.
Testing write speed to wd red using large block size i got 126 MB/s
Testing throughput between 2 wd red drives connected to same sata controller I got 84 MB/s
The above were done with 1 GB block size so it is not real performance but when using rsync and large files i got 58 MB/s. Same transfer speeds over cif shares on lan.
