Lets be frank- almost all(?) RAID controllers you must export the disks
via JBOD and they cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. Doing SW RAID
via JBOD IMO is not a great idea-- I'd use individual 2 or 4 port SATA
controllers on PCI-e.
Right. The AOC-SAT2-MV8 is a 8 port PCI-X controller without any RAID
support - and costs just around $ 100. That's why I like it.
Yes, very nice, I wish there was an 8-port PCI-e controller non-raid..
I've contacted StarTech about this they said they currently do not offer
such a product but would look into it.
Justin.
