    the 2 ports on SAS is for multipath, that's fault tolerance feature.

    SATA Controller Recommendation

    450MB/s on two ports with 10 disks, that's one 25GB blu-ray in less than 1 minute. 250MB/s per port. RC218 --> SIL3762 --sata--> HDD0 | \---sata--> HDD1 | \---sata--> HDD2 | \---sata--> HDD3 | \---sata--> HDD4 \ --> SIL3762 --sata-->...

    SATA Controller Recommendation

    Rosewill RC218. PCIe x4. I got 450MB/s using two external ports. I saw one review (sonnet e4p, same chipset) claimed ~900MB/s using all four sata ports with 20 hard disks in four enclosures. If you want to go with PCIex1, any cheap Sil3132 based card will do, which limits you to 125MB/s.

    update on the SAS expander with HP P212. The P212 I have is the /ZM version, w/o any cache memory. I can't use the expander with P212/ZM as HPACU crapped out with "expander ... require memory module". I can't use P212/ZM to flash the firmware of expander either. Please update the first post...

    I got reply from IEI tech support. The PCIe PWRGD is connected to PCI-RST on PE-2SD1-R10.

    My guess is the PCIe signals are connected to the BP_CONNB1. Let me dig in PCI/PICOe documents.

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    can you take a second look? A bigger one: I also write to IEI tech support to ask the following questions: 1) Looks like the PCIe X4 is open-ended. Is that true? 2) Is the PWRGD on Pin 11-A of PCIex4 connect to the ATX Pin8 PWRGD or to the backplane? Also bigger one for PICMG 1.3 board:

    It has, just angled. Look at the white connector marked ATXPWR1

    Yes. But PE-2SD1-R10 is at least $46 shipped. This one is <$30

    That looks interesting. How to make sure it works?

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    Yes. You need one SFF8087-SFF8087 cable to connect MV8 to HP SAS Expander, consuming one x4 port on each card.

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    One x4 port is external. That leaves you at most 7 x4 ports.
