Nope. But AFAIK OpenSolaris doesn't support port multipliers yet. Maybe FreeBSD does. Keep in mind that three modern drives (334GB/platter) are all it takes to saturate a SATA 3.0Gbps link. > It's also easier to use an external disk box like the CFI 8-drive eSATA tower > than find a reasonable server case that can hold that many drives. If you are willing to go cheap you can get something that holds 8 drives for $70: buy a standard tower case with five internal 3.5" bays ($50), and one of these enclosures that fit in two 5.25" bays but give you three 3.5" bays ($20). -marc _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
