am looking at attempt #2 for a home storage server using freeNAS. Will be using 10gb intel cards from vmware host direct to the freeNAS server. So i wanted to know if you would recommend an HBA card or use the SATA ports on the Motherboard. I guess what im thinking / wondering if i load the motherboard SATA ports up would my bottle neck be the SATA controller where possibly an HBA or dual HBA's could allow for higher throughput?
Thanks!
Thanks!
