From what I can tell, all the vendors are only making SAS controllers for PCIe with more than 4 ports. Since SAS supports SATA, I guess they don't see much point in doing SATA-only controllers. For example, the LSI SAS3081E-R is $260 for 8 SAS ports on 8x PCIe, which is somewhat more expensive than the almost equivalent PCI-X LSI SAS3080X-R which is as low as $180. For those downthread looking for full RAID controllers with battery backup RAM, Areca (who formerly specialised in SATA controlers) now do SAS RAID at reasonable prices, and have Solaris drivers. -- James Andrewartha _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
