Wait...sorry, this may make me sound like an idiot, but is this just a raid controller that makes the disks look like one SATA disk to the on-board controller?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 14, 2010 at 4:44 PM, Zachary Kotlarek <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zach@kotlarek.com">zach@kotlarek.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Three eSATA to 5xSATA port multipliers:<br>

Fifteen SATA cables, 16"<br>

SFF-8088 to 4xeSATA cable, 3 meters. Unless you've got some freaky controller this won't work with the above port multipliers.<br>

I also found an LSI SAS3442X-R SAS controller. 4 external channels, 4 internal channels, PCI-X interface. Uses the mptfusion driver, which is in the mainline kernel. It's old to me but it works and it's still selling new for $200+. I'd take $100 for it, otherwise it's headed to eBay.<br>
