[zfs-discuss] Good 8 or 16 port x86 PCI SATA card
Hi All, I have looked on the HCL list for Sol 10 x86 without much luck. I am looking for a 8 or 16 port SATA card for a JBOD Sol 10 x86 ZFS installation. Anyone know of one that is well supported in Sol 10? I am starting to do some testing with an LSI Logic 320-XLP SATA RAID card, but so far as I can tell, it does not want to do JBOD. For several reasons, I would rather have ZFS handle the RAID. Any recommendations would be appreciated. I have a 16 bay triple redundant PS case here that I would really like to use with ZFS. Unfortunately my CPU is 32 bit, so that may have to change. Thanks, Shannon ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

(one 3Gbps SATA port can nearly saturate PCI) Casper ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

The newer version of the SuperMicro 8-port card works well: http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AoC-SAT2-MV8.cfm Al Hopper Logical Approach Inc, Plano, TX.
