I emailed one of the more popular low-cost PCI card vendors and asked them about [maybe 4/8 port???], PCIe x4 [or more] cards in their product roadmap. They replied positively theat they were working on a PCIe x4 card, with both internal and eSATA options. They said it's cooking in the lab, and wait until the R&D folks get it all together... but I feel it is fair to say we will have more options in 2009.
Since I have a mobo with PCIe, and couldn't justify the cost of [a PCI-X, Opteron based] motherboard, I real excited about this. I told the vendor specificially to check out our postings here on opensolaris.org, and encouraged them make sure the chipset works in JBOD mode on OpenSolaris x86/x64. We'll see. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
