That matches my experience with rr622 as well.

I replaced it with a Sil3132 card I had around, I also have a Sil3124 card in my system now.

I've been thinking of replacing the cards with ASM1061 based ones....but things have been stable, so not sure I really want to go poking around inside my computer just to try different cards.  Though I have plans to drop in another SSD to use as L2ARC in the future (had picked up a Velocity Solo x1 card a while back.... )
