Hello all, I'm looking to set up a file server at our office. It's a small office so price is a concern. Performance is also going to be important. The data will be replicated from another site so integrity of the data is not paramount. For this reason I think I'll be able to run with ZFS. I see it as a good opportunity to contribute to getting ZFS stable and non-experimental. What I am really concerned about is the SATA support. If I look at AMD64 as an arch, does anyone have any experience with good IO chipsets that can do full SATA-300? I don't mind if it is a on-board or if I get a good controller card so long as I can get decent performance out of the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drives. I'd be willing to go with intel arch although from a ZFS perspective it sounds like AMD64 is better. -D
