After searching around i didnt find any info regarding Marvell
88SE9485 compatibility with smartmontools.

At the moment i use LSI 9211-8i flashed Dell PERC H310 and cannot get
SMART info under Windows. HDD guardian can but i look for something
else that should work in general with more SMART tools.

Because of that i think for a new motherboard - like Asus
P9A-I/C2750/SAS/4L or Asus P9A-I/C2550/SAS/4L which have Marvell
88SE9485 controllers. I was wondering how would smartmontools work
with these motherboards?

The only thing i found about Marvell and smartmontools is:
> marvell - [Linux only] interact with SATA disks behind Marvell chip-set controllers (using the Marvell rather than libata driver).

It looks like these motherboards are not a proper solution for me.
Please correct me f i am wrong.

If by any chance there is someone using the same controller and
smartmontools please share your experience!
