Thanks for all the help guys. Based on the success reports, i'll give it a shot in my intel s3210shlc board next week when the UIO card arrives. I'll report back on the success or destruction that follows...now i just hope solaris 10 10/08, but it sounds like it should.

In fact, I have two of the USAS-L8i in this chassis because I forgot that, unlike the 8-port AOC-SAT2-MV8, the USAS-L8i can support up to 122 drives. I have 8 drives connected to the first USAS-L8i. They are set up in a raidz-2 and I get 90-120MB/sec read and 60-75MB/sec write during my rsyncs from linux machines (this solaris box is only used to store backup data). I plan on removing the second USAS-L8i and connect all 16 drives to the first USAS-L8i when I need more storage capacity. I have no doubt that it will work as intended. I will report to the list otherwise. -- Dave
