Subject: [gentoo-user] Port Multiplier Support
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2009 02:15:54 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <470032.71964.qm@web51303.mail.re2.yahoo.com> (raw)

I am looking at ways to increase the drive capacity of my machine. It has 4 in built sata ports, and currently 2 off the PCI port - which is only sata 150 - this has proved a troublesome route. I have the option of a 2 port sata-300 off the 1 pci-express I have but I was looking to increase slightly more than that. to a total of 8.

I have come across Sata Port Multiplying before and saw the support was abit weak. I have come back to it again.

i am lookin at this bad boy.

[Lycom ST-158 SATA II-3Gbps 1-To-5Ports H/W RAID Host Adapter]
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Lycom-ST-158-SATA-II-3Gbps-1-To-5Ports-H-W-RAID-Host-Adapter

Can anyone advise if they have any experience in this area? Or indicate some level of success failure? (it is £50 so i dont want to buy it unless there is a reasonable chance of success!

thank you in advance!
