I'm putting together a hardware proposal for a new project - I/O rates are paramount, so I'm looking at running e.g. 16 SATA-II drives on a single box. I have opted not to use SAS drives due to price and lack of concurrency in the application. I'm thinking of using two fairly inexpensive Intel SATA (for RAID0) controllers, each with 8 SATA ports, each in a PCIe x8 slot. Before I go and build the prototype, I was just wondering if anyone's had any experience with running so many SATA drives on a single mainboard? /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
