Since we're talking about an old PCI slot here, I'd say there's really two good options: A SiliconImage Sil3114-based card, which is a 32-bit/66Mhz card, with 4 SATA-1 ports, usually for $25 A Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 card, which is a 64-bit/100Mhz PCI-X card (but will fit and run just fine i

hello if you are looking for pci-e (8x), i would recommend sas/sata controller with lsi 1068E sas chip. they are nearly perfect with opensolaris. you must look for controller with it firmware (jbod mode) not those with raid enabled (ir mode). normally the cheaper variants are the right ones. on
