However, your comment about all flash being slower than rotating at

Hey sbreden! :o)
No, I havent tried to tinker with my drives. They have been functioning all the
time. I suspect (can not remember) that each SATA slot in the card has a number
attached to it? Can anyone confirm this? If I am right, OpenSolaris will say
something about disc 6 is broken and on

Just a side note on the PERC labelled cards: they don't have a JBOD
mode so you _have_ to use hardware RAID. This may or may not be an

This is not a straight to disk connection and you'll have problems if
you ever need to move disks around or move them to another controller.
I agree that the MD1000 with ZFS is a rocking,

Hi, I'm trying to find out which controller card people here recommend that can
drive 8 SATA hard drives and that would work with my Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe
motherboard, which has following expansion slots:
2 x PCI Express x16 slot at x16, x8 speed (PCIe)
The main requirements I have are:

After checking some more sources, it seems that if I used the AOC-SAT2-MV8 with
this motherboard, I would need to run it on the standard PCI slot. Here is the
full listing of the motherboard's expansion slots:
2 x PCI Express x16 slot at x16, x8 speed
2 x PCI Express x1
3 x PCI 2.2
I use the AOC-SAT2-MV8 in a ordinary PCI slot. The PCI slot maxes at 150MB/sec
or so. That is the fastest you will get. That card works very good with
Solaris/OpenSolaris. Detects automatically, etc. Ive heard though that it does
not work with hot swapping discs - avoid this.
However, In a

It's great to hear that you've had good experiences with the card. It's a great
pity to have throughput drop from a potential 1GB/s to 150MB/s, but as most of
my use of the NAS is across the network, and not local intra-NAS transfers,
