> * SII3132-based PCIe X1 SATA card (2 ports) This chip is slow.
PCIe cards based on the Silicon Image 3124 are much faster, peaking around 1 GB/sec aggregate throughput. However, the 3124 is a PCI-X chip and hence is used behind an Intel PCI serial-to-parallel bridge for PCIe applications: this make for a more expensive card than a 3132. All PCIe 3124 cards I have seen present all four 3124 ports as external eSATA ports. Perhaps someone else has seen a PCIe 3124 with internal SATA connectors? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
