Hi all. I'm one of those people who search cost-effective storage solution. Now we can buy a SATA enclusure kit(*1) only for $200 which can be a 400GBx4=1.6TB storage connecting with just a single eSATA cable. It's very attractive for me.
*1 http://www.kuroutoshikou.com/products/etc/gw3.5x4-s2_fsfset.html (written in Japanese) But it uses SATA(II?) port multiplier capability and as a SATA controller chips it requires Silicon Image 3124(PCI-X) or 3132(PCI Express) support for OSes. FreeBSD's ata(4) tells me that currently supported Silicon Image chips are 3112/3114, and google and cvs repository say nothing about SATA port multiplier capability support on FreeBSD. Does anyone know current status and future plan about SiI 3124/3132 and SATA port multiplier capability support? Thanks. -- kayama _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
