Hi all, I'm looking at replacing my old D1000 array with some new external drives, most likely these: http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-drive.cfm . In the immediate term, I'm planning to use USB 2.0 connections, but the drive I'm considering also supports eSATA, which is MUCH faster than USB, but also (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong) more reliable.
Neither of the machines I'll be using as my server (currently an SB1000 but will be an Ultra 20 M2 "soon"; this is my home network, very light workload) has an integrated eSATA port, so I must turn to add-on PCI cards. What are people recommending? I need to attach at least two drives (I'll be mirroring them), preferably three or more. The machines are currently running SXCE snv_b130, with an upgrade to Solaris Express 11 not too far away.
