On a file-server related note, I almost feel committed to SCSI drives
because I have a nice Tekram controller. However all of my drives are so old
that I'm suspicious of them and buying new SCSI is expensive.
It looks like I could switch to SATA controller and drives for less money
than a couple of new SCSI drives as long as I don't have to spend hundreds
to get a decent SATA controller.
Anyone have any recommendations for a PCI SATA controller card that will
work with Plan 9?
Thanks.
Greg

if pci's (not pcie) is the only option, you'd likely do
better for cheeper getting an atom motherboard
and using the onboard ports.
marvell 88sx pci/pci-x cards will work, but they're
relatively expensive. ahci interfaced cards should
also work, but i didn't turn up any pci cards with
an ahci interface in a quick search.
