Re: Sil 3124 Pci Express?

I'm using the Stardom SC-SATA-II-X PCI-X card with very good results.
It has 3+1 ports, 3 internal and one external.

Thats not a PCI Express card is it? its PCI-X... at least thats what
their website says.

I only have 3 PCI slots and all are filled with DVB cards, I have 3
PCI Express free so thats what I need.

I bought also a Stardom SOHOTANK, a SATA external box with 5 disks
slots and plugged 3 disks of 750GB each, in Linux RAID5, so I have 1.5
TB expandable to 3TB at a very low price.

I had to recompile the driver to add the multiport support, thanks to
Tejun's help in this list. The SOHOTANK is connected with a single
cable to the external SATA port. I've been testing it for a week now
and I'm quite satisfied.

I'm running this on a couple of HP DL385 servers, with dual opteron
285 dual core and 7GB RAM. The server are used for calculations, not
too much I/O. Calculations are normally done in the local disk, and
valuable results are copied to the external RAID. If one of the
computers is down, the RAID can be plugged to the other one.
