I'll counter nebulous griping with hard data: http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/Hitachi_HGST_Ultrastar_7K4000_HUS724030ALA640/0F14689/11841415/ http://www.costcentral.com/proddetail/Hitachi_HGST_Ultrastar_7K4000_HUS724030ALS640/0B26886/11904874/ Same device, same vendor, same capacity, different interface. SAS premium, USD 23. Buyers in bulk or with vendor relationships will pay less. SAS would be cheap at twice the price. How much time have you wasted on SATA already, especially when I already warned you explicitly that there was a good chance SATA wouldn't work? That's not to say you can't possibly make it work, but it's going to take a significant effort to figure out what's going wrong and fix it. I can assure you that effort will cost you far more than SAS disks. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
