There's also the benefit of (I think) not needing in-kernel drivers 
to make it work. If you have followed some of the threads here, 
you'll see that there have been several relating to problems with 
proprietary drivers - some of which haven't kept up quickly with 
kernel changes.
That seems to have been an issue with the TBS cards, and of course 
the BlackGold cards aren't supported at all by the manufacturer.


And of course, it doesn't take up a slot in your backend. My backend 
only has two low-profile PCIe slots - so very limited in options.
