The Intel SASUC8I Is a pretty good deal. around 150 dollars for 8 sas/sata channels. This card is identical to the LSI SAS3081E-R for a lot less money. It doesn't come with cables, but this leaves you free to buy the type you need (in my case, i needed SFF-8087 - SFF-8087 cables, some people wil

orted in OS, also I'd be grateful for tips on which ones to use in a non-pro environment. My problem, I can't find the HCL for Open Solaris. Thanks in advance for a link. Date: Fri, 14 May 2010 15:16:10 -0700 From: Brandon High To: ZFS discuss Subject: [zfs-discuss] ZFS home server
