SATA Drivers for Solaris * TX4 cards work flawlessly under FreeBSD, but no-one has reported them to work under Solaris, although a few have tried. * The quality of SiI3112/3132 SATA controllers is questionable, however, they are cheap and work well with Solaris x86. * Other options include LSI MegaRAID (which is a particularly inexpensive option for x86), Areca, or Adaptec. * The HCL, although not always completely up-to-date is the key reference: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/views/disk_controller_all _results.page1.html * As a general pointer for checking support of hardware, follow this process: 1. Boot with the cd 2. Run through the DCA (Device Configuration Assistant) After the hardware scan, it will list all the detected hardware. The next screen will list all bootable devices. The DCA might just detect the hardware - for example, certain motherboards will have SATA capcapabilities but are actually bridged to an on board IDE or SCSI controller.
