Per,
I got curious and looked up the PCIexpress 2.0 spec.

It came out 3 years ago, but it looks like a 16 channel PCI_Express_2.0 can handle 8 GB/sec (the article says a PCIe x16 graphics link (8 GB/s)).
So if you can find motherboards that have PCI_express 2.0 support and Sata controllers with similar you may be able to keep up with your 16 drives.
Hi Greg, thanks for that - the motherboards seem to be widely available, but the controllers not quite so. I saw Highpoint had announced one, but only just September last year. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-1.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
