My server is currently running a Supermicro X10SLM-F, with one of these cards installed for expansion.

I bought this card when I first built the system 3+ years ago, and at this point it's about the only part that hasn't been upgraded over the years. It's also been giving me problems recently with CRC errors and drive timeouts. I have already tried swapping out SATA cables, PCI slots, and even drives, and it continues to give me problems.
I'm guessing that it's finally on it's way out, and would like some recommendations on what I should get as replacement. I've seen some posts on the forums about IBM ServerRAID M1015 cards being pretty good in FreeNAS. However, these are kind of old cards, and I'm wondering if there's something newer out there now. I'm not opposed to spending a little money, but I don't want something that's going to cost $1000 either. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
