Hello,
Looking for cheap way of expanding current home storage server running
on openindiana 151_a5.
jbod (12 bay are 400$) with SFF-8088 is most cost-effective.
Now the question what card with 8088 to stick in the server. Will this
one work? http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/sas/sas/asc-1045
Is there any similar listed on HCL here
http://wiki.openindiana.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4883876?
My best experience is with stuff from LSI, mainly the LSI SAS
2008-derived products such as the LSI 9200-8e, HP SC08e, Dell 6Gbps SAS
HBA, etc.

I'll probably use LSI SAS3801E, it's listed as compatible on HCL and
priced in 80-150 range on ebay.

as long as you don't want to use drives bigger than 2GB ...
I don't know if even 2TB will fill fast enough to justifying any
"investment" into storage expansion.
Speaking about storage expansion, even HBA cards are dirt cheap, pricing
on enclosures with integrated SAS expander is just nuts. Can't figure
out how to add 8-12 disks externally to the storage server without
paying for this 2x cost of the server itself.
