I should have also mentioned just using an adapter to provide esata interfaces from internal sata ports.
Either way you are not limited to cards that already have esata ports built in.

To: "Michelle Knight" <miche...@msknight.com>, "Discussion list for OpenIndiana" <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org> Depending on the server you may be better to look for low priced SAS cards with sata adapters and an adapter for internal sata to e-sata. It seems to me that there are more supported pcie sas cards than sata. No data to back that up, just what I seem to notice.

To: "Discussion list for OpenIndiana" <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org> Hi Folks, I've been driving myself crazy looking at SATA cards for the last few days. What I need is the following... 1) Compatable with OI (I'm really tripping myself up here 2) Lowest price possible 3) PCI-E 4) Ports needed - 2 E-SATA Version 3. Any recommendations please?
