However, i did not receive a reply as of yet.
#Silicon image sil3132 softraid 5 controller non raid driver#
I mailed about this controller, as i found a reference of him working on driver support for the chip in FreeBSD. Problem is, it is likely not yet supported.
The newer version (first mentioned) has 6Gbps SATA and uses PCI-express 2.0 with double the bandwidth. The latter (USAS L8i) is supported under FreeBSD, but is the 'older' version. With two of those cable you can connect 8 disks without using port multipliers. It also uses Mini-SAS cables one cable connects four normal SATA/300 or SATA/600 disks. You may need to remove the bracket to make it fit in your PC. Supermicro USAS L8i (8x SATA/300 on PCIe x8 gen 1 = 2GB/s)īoth these controllers are UIO cards, meaning the components are on the "wrong" side (actually i think its the right side as heat wants to travel up and this just makes sense to me). Supermicro USAS2 L8e (8x SATA/600 on PCIe x8 gen 2 = 4GB/s)
