FREENAS - PCI SATA EXPANDER

[Moacir Fonteque Jr]

Dear guys,
I´m using freenas with a ECS Via Nano Mini Itx VX900 motherboard with AMD processor. This motherboard has just 2 sata connectors. Its Works very well!
I´m looking for using 4 SATA HD with this board and want to know wich PCI-SATA expander peripheral is compatible with Freenas/freeBSD operational system.

Regads,
Fonteque.

PCI isn't a good choice for file servers. The PCI bus is limited to 133MB/sec for all devices on the bus. You will certainly not be too thrilled with the performance.

There's a list of SATA controllers that work well with FreeNAS around here somewhere.
