Re: [zfs-discuss] x4500 performance tuning.

Ross,

The X4500 uses 6x Marvell 88SX SATA controllers for its internal disks.  They 
are not Supermicro controllers.  The new X4540 uses an LSI chipset instead of 
the Marvell chipset.

 Yup, and the Supermicro card uses the Marvell
 Hercules-2 88SX6081 (Rev. C0) SATA Host Controller,
 which is part of the series supported by the same
 driver:

 7d?a=view.  I've seen the Supermicro card mentioned
 in connection with the Thumpers many times on the
 forums.

Ahh, I was unfamiliar with Supermicro's products...I'll shut up now. :)
