PCIe SATA controllers, are JMB363 or Sil3132 good?

2008-04-01 Thread Dieter
Looking for a PCIe SATA controller.  Are the JMB363 or Sil3132
any good?  Any limitations (including speed) or problems?

Other controllers to consider?  I don't need RAID.
More than 2 ports per card would be a significant plus.  

The 3124 has 4 ports, but the PCI slots are all full.  :-(

3132 PCIe comes in various flavors - 2xSATA or 1xSATA + 1xeSATA. I've used 
both, under both 6- and 7- (although just right now my 31xx controllers are 
all in my Solaris boxes). It's fine; the usual kind of throughput -- I get 
around 80MB/s off of the four disks on my 3124 in another machine under 6.3. 

Hotswap is a little tricky, at it requires an atacontrol detach and attach.
