Hi, I'm looking for the right kind of ExpressCard that I can plug into my Lenovo T61 laptop to add two eSATA ports. I've figured out that there are two kinds of chipsets that are supported by OpenSolaris: SiI3132 and AHCI - correct?
Now I'm wondering, which one to get. As I understand it the SiI3132 has been supported for quite some time now, while in contrast AHCI support is pretty new. So I guess driver robustness might be better with SiI3132. OTOH, the AHCI seems to be the newer specification, which might have its own benefits. Additionally, I've seen there are lot's of very cheap ExpressCards with two eSATA ports, where I was unable to figure out which chipset they are using? E.g. Digitus makes such cards. Any idea what chipset that might be and what the quality of the cards are. Judging from the price, I'd avoid those cards, but I'd be happy if they are good enough for general use. So, can anybody give me some insight on which chipset or brand/make to prefer and which would work well especially with the Lenovo T61?
