Can someone tell me if this can use raptor hard drives? It says SAS/SATA controller, but says SATA 300 and raptor drives are sata150. I am assuming they are backwards compatible, but I don't know for sure. If so ... i'm going to put 8 raptors in a computer on raid 0.

the model is LSI
MegaRAID SAS 8308ELP
 
thank you ..but this particular one can run 8 and is pcie x4 (the only slot left on my mobo) heh and found one hell of a deal on it at newegg. 300 off actually. Here it is.
 
Not that I'm aware of. 3ware do 2- 4- 6- 8- 12- 16- 24- port variants. Only 2- 4- and 6- are PCI-E x4 the others are x8 and x16 respectivley.

yeah ..i wonder if they ever will add more slots for cards ...especially with the video cards becoming ENORMOUS. the soundblaster card is about 1/4 inch away from my video card 1 and maybe an inch from video card 2 ..and no more room for pci or pcie except for the x4 slot closest to the cpu socket.
 
I think the best way to do large arrays is to have a dedicated fileserver.

That way you can run more drives on the x16 slots and use gigabit networking for file transfers.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
