![]() ![]() Reading up on controllers the general consensus seems to be that Intel's southbridges performs well and LSI SAS2008 series are suitable as additional controller(s) if you want recent hardware and good performance. I also have 4 additional drives connected to a Promise SATA300 TX4 PCI card that really doesn't like RAIDZ at all (getting 20mbyte/s tops) on FreeBSD 9-CURRENT and it's been like that since the early 7.X-days.Īnyhow, I'm looking at an Intel Q57 or possibly Q67 chipset-based solution due to headless remote access ( ), much better virtualization support than my current hardware and integrated Intel LAN. Right now I have 4 drives attached to the southbridge (SB450) which performs decently but far from great. I have an old computer running an Opteron 185 and an ATi Xpress 200-chipset which is in need of upgrade since I'm running into some hardware limitations such as not being able to address more than ~3,2Gb of memory even in 64-bit mode and it's running quite hot due to non existing Cool 'n Quiet technology. I'm a rather old and silent reader but I'm now in need of some help myself for a change. ![]()
