Yup! The ICH10 is connected at 10Gb/sec to the northbridge, so it shouldn't have bandwidth issues. 2 modern drives will be able to fully saturate the PCI bus. You could get away with more however, since most activity isn't large sequential reads. Things like scrubs (which are lots of sequential reads) will take a more noticeable performance hit than everyday use. -B -- Brandon High : [email protected] "God is big, so don't fuck with him." _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
