ASMedia has often been handicapped by their products being second class citizens on the platforms. This will be first time we see ASMedia IP as first class citizens, with full access to all the bandwidth it wants. Kind of hard to reliably push even 400MB/s+ over an interface which maxes out at 500MB/s (PCI-e 2.0 x1). In the very least, the new connections should have PCI-e 3.0 x1, with a peak of 985MB/s.
All my SATA 3 connected drives hit way over 400MB\s, tbh it's a none problem really ( for me fine for my needs ) but hopefully it will perform more like the Intel SATA3 at least this time.
