Hi,
I'm looking at buying some new hard drives within the next few months, and
along with them an sata card. One of the cards I've spotted is an Adaptec
that apparently has a Marvell chipset on it (88SX7042), so I was wondering
what the current state of sata_mv is. Is it stable enough for everyday use,
or should I look for something using a different chipset?
Please cc me, as not subscribed to lkml, thanks.
Hi,
I cannot comment on that Adaptec card but other cards (without fake-raid
controllers built on-top of them) with that chipset work great:
Starttech/Rosewill come to mind.
01:00.0 SCSI storage controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88SX7042 PCI-e 4-port SATA-II (rev 02)
Star Tech is the "brand-card" I have.
Works as a regular SATA controller.
Justin.
