Heh.
The original definition of "I" was inexpensive. Was never meant to be
"independent".
Guess that changed by vendors. The idea all along was to take inexpensive

and use software to turn it into a reliable system.

And they have a sas expander inside, unlike every other variant of

Nah, the 8x2.5"-in-2 are $220, while the 5x3.5"-in-3 are $120. You can
get 4x3.5"-in-3 for $100, 3x3.5"-in-2 for $80, and even 4x2.5"-in-1 for
$65. ( http://www.addonics.com/products/raid_system/ae4rcs25nsa.asp )

Whoops, Erik's links show I was wrong about my first point. Though those

It wasn't possible to do so, and that also made me think that a real HBA would

Hi,
I suspect mine are already IT mode...not sure how to confirm that
though...I have had no issues.
My controller is showing as C8...odd isn't it. It's in the 16xPCIE slot at the
moment...I am not sure how it gets the number...

Hi,
thanks for sharing.
Is your LSI card running in IT or IR mode? I had some issues getting all drives
connected in IR mode which is the factory default of the LSI branded cards.
I am also curious why your controller shows up as "c11". Does anybody know more
about the way this is enumerated? I a

Hi,
Thank you for sharing it. Seems like it's more cheaper than the HBA from
LSI, isn't it?
Can you tell us the build version of the opensolaris?
