I currently have a linux system at home with a pair of 3ware RAID (pci)

like to move this existing setup to zfs but the problem I keep running into
is finding suitable SATA controllers to replace the 3ware cards with.
Bill mentioned the supermicro 8-port SATA controllers for ~$100, but these
are PCI-X; not something I can make use of in the system... afaik (or can I?).
Unless they break the spec, yes, it should work. PCI cards autonegotiate, so
when they state a speed, what they mean is that it handle negotiations up to
that
speed, not necessarily that it will actually transfer data at that speed.
