I have a OpenIndiana system with 16-cores of Xeon E5 and Intel i350
Ethernet and these seem to work great with recent OpenIndiana/Illumos.
I was a bit nervous about i350 Ethernet since the driver was not added
until 151a3 but it has worked perfectly.
Prices I have seen this year for Enterprise SAS and SATA drives did
not show a large bump in price for SAS as compared with SATA (maybe
only $20-30). Other than the SAS controller, there is not much extra
cost for SAS as compared with SATA if one sticks with a supplier like
Supermicro. Due to this, I went with SAS for my system, except that
SATA is used for boot/system drives.
