Do you have any information on PCIe storage controllers?

In all - not really worth it right now in my opinion... might be faster than PCI-X but all the options above are fairly new - therefore untested and probably more difficult to set up than you'd expect.
Thanks for the info.
I have googled and gone here and there but not found anything.
Do you know of any card that supports more than 4 SATA ports without a dumb fakeraid tacked on? Just a pure SATA card with more than 4 ports.
Unfortunately that will be virtually impossible to find... If you want more than 4 ports, a real raid card will probably be your only option.
:(
i hope somebody makes a card with that broadcom chip that supports 8 SATA ports without add any dumb fakeraid.

Any 4 port SATA only controllers around? That was hard for me to find too.
Some fakeraid controllers allow you to completely disable the firmware though
- I'm sure you've read through it - but just in case you didn't...
Thanks.
