[OpenIndiana-discuss] Need a PCI e-sata card for OI151a

[Jason Matthews]

Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

btw, "log device" implies ZIL, as in intent log.

Already flashed to IT firmware and working fine.  Unfortunately, I am on 
a budget constraint (soho setup), and the mobo+cpu+8GB was already 
sitting around handy.  My plan for the M4 was L2ARC, not ZIL.  I think 
I'm going to get the cheap rosewill and use that for the esata drive - 
as I said, this is only running one consumer quality sata drive 
occasionally, so if it's not great, I can live with that.  I may keep 
trolling ebay looking for a used 16-port card like the one you 
referenced.  Thanks!
