Holy crap why would you need this monster? Btw, it's MegaRAID, i.e. no JBOD mode, so ZFS won't be a very happy puppy on this board. Why not simply get something like three Dell PERC H200's (rebranded LSI SAS 9211-8i). They are 6G SAS, support 8 drives natively (and up to 1024 through an expander) and cost a fraction of that: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=405-11540 Cheers, -- Saso ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
