Hi Lyle,
I've been doing a similar exercise here and have been looking at
portmultiplier options using the Silicon Image 3124.
The other possibility is the Marvell based 8 port "dumb" SATA controller
from Supermicro.
http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AoC-SAT2-MV8.cfm
It is PCI-X though, but there are plenty of boards around still with
these slots.
My only concern here is the opening comment in the driver:
" 1) Needs a full errata audit for all chipsets. I implemented most
of the errata workarounds found in the Marvell vendor driver, but
I distinctly remember a couple workarounds (one related to PCI-X)
are still needed."
Enquiries here previously have not found anyone using this card.
Regards,
Richard
