Hello,
I'm testing high-density SATA storage with FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE. The
hardware is:
Drives: 45 * Seagate Altos ST3000NC002
Port Multipliers: 9 * SiI3826
SATA Controller: 3 * Marvell 88SX7042
After a few hours of a database-like workload over ZFS (NCQ enable, disk
write caches disabled), a di

I've heard, that only SiI3132 (2 port controller) works really well with
port multipliers

I've heard the theory that you are better off matching a Silicon Image
port multiplier with a Silicon Image controller (e.g. 3132 or 3
