That card works on OI-148 x86 if its SATA mode (tested it myself, RAID does not), which should also work on the SPARC version of the OS (common driver). Would mean upgrading to OpenIndiana and using the in development SPARC SKU but if you're adventurous and nothing else works... Bye, Deano

for *years*. And given how cheap some SSD are, it is probably still cheaper to effectively burn the ZIL out and just replace it once a year. Maybe not a classic level of RAID but the very essence of the idea, lots of cheap can be better than expensive if you know what you are doing. Bye, Deano
