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. one of the cheapest at all any my favourite is the supermicro usas-l8i http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS-L8i.cfm (about 100 euro in germany) although it is uio (wrong side mounted for special supermicro cases), it's normally not a problem because it's internal only. (you will loose one slot normally) see my hardware http://www.napp-it.org/hardware/ gea -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
