I just want to make sure whether it support SATA or
not?
BEcause my PC only have 2 SATA drives.
Tnx in advanced.
Please check the model of your sata controller. So far Solaris 10 update
3 support
ICH5/6 and SI3112/3114/3512 and so on with legacy mode, and SI3124 and
Marvell5081/5080...
with native mode.
There is no "opensolaris 10 express community" distro.
Solaris 10 supports SATA in PATA emulation mode (and it's pretty fast, too).
OpenSolaris and "Nevada" derived from it (future Solaris 11) supported SATA in
PATA mode up until Nevada build 56 (snv_56 / b56).
From snv_56 and on, SATA should be natively supported with the AHCI framework,
according to this document:
This is not correct.
Solaris Nevada introduces the sata framework in build 32, and so far
there are already
several sata framework-compliant hba drivers including marvell88sx,
si3124 and ahci.
These drivers support controllers' SATA native mode.
Thanks,

You can check which changes have been introduced into Nevada builds by going looking at
"flag day" notices here:
