[12-12-12 04:27]: I am looking for a hot-plug capable SATA card with 4 or 8 ports with PCIe interface.
iiuc, SATA spec specifies hot-plug, ie: all SATA cards s/b hot-plug capable.
Yes. But not all of them are supported by the kernel out of the box. My first trial was a RocketRaid 2680SGL with 8 ports, that happened to use the Marvell 88se6485 chip. Unfortunately, this chip is not supported by the kernel. Bad luck.
It might not be a big deal getting the support - I needed support for 88SE9125 some time last year, it was a one-line patch to ahci.c. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-6.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
