Is LSI SAS3081E-R suitable for a ZFS NAS ?
According to various posts the LSI SAS3081E-R seems to work well with OpenSolaris.
But I''ve got pretty chilled-out from my recent problems with Areca-1680''s.
Could anyone please confirm that the LSI SAS3081E-R works well ?
Is hotplug supported ?
Anything else I should know before buying one of these cards ?
Thanks,
Arnaud

Best 1.5TB drives for consumer RAID?
...6B0 revision seems to work OK, from what I found, but I prefer fewer platters from noise, vibration, heat & reliability perspectives.
The newer 3-platter WD15EADS-00P8B0 revision seems to have serious problems - see links below.
WD15EARS:
Also, very recently WD brought out a 3-platter WD15EARS-00Z5B1 revision, based on ''Advanced format'' where it uses 4KB sector sizes instead of the old traditional 512 byte sector sizes.
Again, these drives seem to have serious issues - see links below.
Does ZFS handle this new 4KB sector size automatically and transparently, or does something...
