But I'm planning a home server, I already have an Atom board from Intel (old Atom 330), Soekris 6501-70 and Sil3124 PCI. I saw that both ICH7 and NM10 can't deal with port multipliers, so my focus is on the Sil3124 now. I heard from internet that Sil4726+SIl3124 got random resets, although that was some time ago and on linux lists. So as I'm about to buy the Port Multiplier, and as I'll run FreeBSD 9 on it, anyone here have any experiences on this regard and is willing to share ? this is a small footprint server, I plan to have 6-8 disks and may become ZFS based. I plan to buy this port multiplier http://www.addonics.com/products/ad5sahpm-ea.php thanks, matheus -- Vítima da Oi entre 2007 e 2011.
