best add-on controllers
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 2:12 pm
For those of you who like to add lots of hard drives to a server, say 7+, what controller do you use?
One cost effective model I know of is SUPERMICRO AOC-SAT2-MV8 which supports 8 SATA ports but it's PCI-X, which works in PCI but slower that way. Anyone knows similar controllers with many ports for PCI-E?
