Hello folks
I'm currently planing a new box with 16 HD ports. My current plan would be a HPT2740 (=2*Marvell 9485) controller in JBOD mode, but the controller/chipset is about 4 years old and HPTs Support for changes in the market (SATA4, 16TiB drives, SSHD) is very limited as the past has proven a few times.
It have to be one controller as I only have space for one x16 Slot and the logic should be very simple as ZFS keep track of the functions.
What 16 port controller is stable and includes a good chipset for FreeNAS?
Cheers
Sam
