Hey guys, I've been looking into some HBAs to use in an OpenSolaris/ZFS file server project, and came across the Intel SASUC8I - http://www.intel.com/products/server/raid-controllers/SASUC8I/SASUC8I-overview.htm
The SASUC8I sells for around US$180, has 2x MiniSAS ports, uses the well supported LSI 1068E chip and going by the documentation, has IT (initiator target) mode - meaning it will bypass any RAID features and simply expose the disks to the operating system, so we can let ZFS weave its magic. I have found very little info about these cards on the internet and am wondering if anyone has had any experience with them on Solaris/OpenSolaris and with ZFS? I've purchased 2 of the SASUC8I's and when they arrive, will let you all know how I went :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
