I would avoid USB, since it can be less reliable than other connection
methods. That's the impression I get from older posts made by Sun
Take that a step further. Anything

You might want to consider eSATA. Port multipliers are supported in
recent builds (128+ I think), and will give better performance than
USB. I'm not sure if PMP are supported on Sparc though., since it
requires support in both the controller and PMP.

So the question is, what eSATA non-RAID HBA do people recommend? Bear
in mind that I'm looking for something with driver support out of the
box with either the latest Solaris 10, or Solaris 11 Express.

eSATA has no need
I can tell you specifically that the 3124 will not work in Sparc
equipment. I specifically purchased a 3124 after seeing glowing reviews
in the archives. I needed it for a low end project using a V120 or
Netra T1. What I didn't pick up from reviewing the archives was all of
the glowing reviews

Hi all,
Space is starting to get a bit tight here, so I'm looking at adding
a couple of TB to my home server. I'm considering external USB or
FireWire attached drive enclosures. Cost is a real issue, but I also
want the data to be managed by ZFS--so enclosures without a JBOD option
have been

One product that seems to fit the bill is the StarTech.com S352U2RER,
an external dual SATA disk enclosure with USB and eSATA connectivity

I'm with the gang on this one as far as USB being the spawn of the
devil for mass storage you want to depend on. I'd rather scoop my eyes
out with a red hot spoon than depend on permanently attached USB
storage... And - don't even start me on SPARC and USB storage... It's
like watching pitch
