Sounds like the X2* is the red-headed stepchild of Sun's product line. They should slap disclaimers up on the product information pages so we know better than to purchase into something that doesn't fully function. Still unclear on the SAS/SATA solutions, but hopefully that'll progress further now in the thread.
