Sorry, I'm fairly new to Solaris... I'm not sure if it's using the ata
driver or sata driver. Here are my current disks (0,1, and 2 are the
sata disks):

AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
  0. c0d0 
 /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0
  1. c0d1 
 /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0
  2. c1d0 
 /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0
  3. c2d0 
 /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED],0
Specify disk (enter its number):

Since they are labeled as "pci-ide" is it safe to assume they are
using the ide/ata driver? If so, is there a performance gain when
using a sata driver?

By "native support", I assume you mean IDE/ATA driver support ("ata" in
modinfo), not SATA driver support. But I'd love to be wrong ;-)

home server and it works great! Solaris 10 had native support for it
so no need to mess with drivers.

What kind of performance are you getting with ZFS from Sil3114 card?
Can you try bonnie or dd if=file of=/dev/null... on it?

It sells here for like 90euro so would be a cheap way for me to add
some
extra harddrives for a personal zfs server.
