Greetings all-
I need to purchase a PCIe SATA or SAS controller(non-raid) for a Supermicro 2U system. It should be directly bootable. Any recommendations? The system will be running CentOS 5.4 as an LTSP system. Thanks!
I've had good luck with a ATTO SAS PCIe HBA using with a tape library. The driver for this particular card wasn't included with CentOS at the time but might be with the latest version.
The drivers are open source, I have no past experience with ATTO it was recommended to me by a tape backup software vendor for their performance and stability under linux.
I am using the "ExpressSAS H644 Low-Profile 4-Internal/4-External Port 6Gb/s SAS/SATA PCIe 2.0 Host Adapter"
