[OpenIndiana-discuss] Experiences with Supermicro backplane

[Florian]

Hi,

these combo seems to work very well, but openindiana or zfs itself has 
some troubles with expanders and sata drives. If you use sas drives, 
there will be no problem.

sata may work, but many people had troubles with sata and expanders.
