Hello, Freebsd-hardware. I have hjome storage server, which is equipped with 6 HDDs (one with system and five for geom_raid5 in SuperMicro SATA hot-swap cage). I need add more HDDs :)
What is better: PICe SATA controller or SATA port multiplier? Is here SATA port multipliers for internal installation? Which PCIe controllers (pure controllers, I don't want to pay additional money for soft-RAID and I don't have budget for true SATA RAID) works best with FreeBSD? Maybe, here is good-but-not-too-expensive hotswap cages with port multipliers (my one have 5 SATA connectors on backplane for 5 HDDs)? -- // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
