This entry is a placeholder. Supported in 2. No libata driver exists for these, but Alan Cox is working on one as of Problematic proprietary Linux i binary drivers for HighPoint fakeraid release 2.
Said to use the Marvell 88SX chip. HighPoint makes available proprietary driver " hptmv " source code wrapper around a binary-only proprietary core library.
Proprietary binary drivers , , , can be downloaded from the manufacturer. Correspondent Berkley Shands notes that these cards and proprietary drivers are quite CPU-intensive, even pushing a quad-Opteron system a bit. Note that models and both try to use different proprietary drivers named "hptmv6". The default read-ahead is 8 sectors. I use ; otherwise, you won't come anywhere near those numbers.
An proprietary, high-performance "rrx" driver source code wrapper around binary-only proprietary core libraries, deceptively claimed to be "open source" is available from the manufacturer. More info. Works with the kernel's gdth driver version 3. A file of hints on using the gdth driver with sundry distributions is available from ICP Vortex.
One source says these cards are based on Silicon Image chips, which are probably not the system-facing chipsets , and so don't determine driver support. See fakeraid support details under Intel ICH6. Adaptec has released a proprietary " aarich " driver source code wrapper surrounding a binary-only core library for Intel ICH5-R and Silicon Image Alternatively, LSI has produced proprietary, binary-only drivers source code wrapper accompanying a "megaide" binary-only driver for ICH6-R.
Supermicro's ftp site offers versions of those same proprietary, binary-only drivers. The iswraid patch will be merged into kernel 2. The Silicon Image chips are not the system-facing chipsets 1 2 , and so don't determine driver support. An optional battery-backup daughterboard is available. Alternatively, Alan Cox's series of -ac variant kernel source code trees include an " it " driver as Alan's add-in to 2. As of , this patch isn't in mainline kernels, however.
Update: As of , the new driver is said to be in mainline 2. Work with 2. Optional battery backup unit is available for the model card's cache, for more reliable operation in the event of power loss, etc.
This turns to to be a Silicon Image variant. Reports suggest that Linux's open-source SiI driver sets from Linux work with this card.
An i binary ataraid? Uses a Marvell 88SX chip. Compatible with Linux's megaraid2 driver. CardBus cards — fakeraid. As of May 's v. At first glance through the transparent box , this model doesn't differ from the STA which was tested before, except the markings. The differences pop up on opening the box. First it's a 7-pin signal connector; then a pin power supply one.
However, it was unpleasant to find out that a normal power supply connector is missing. Formally, the specification doesn't require it, but there is space and it's still not easy to find Serial ATA cables on sale.
Fortunately, the Gigabyte's boards come with brackets for external connection of Serial ATA drives with an appropriate adapter. In general, it's handy, especially because the same 4 connectors are used. If you want to know why 7 and 15 pins are used, here is the brief information. As the drive doesn't use 3. For more information see the specification. I removed the SeaShield cover to have a look at the board with the electronics. The Hynix's cache memory chip is not new. As to the rest of the chips, I couldn't find them at the sites of ST and LSI , that is why I can show only their photos: This one looks like the engine's controller.
The technical characteristics of the drives are almost identical. The tests are standard. The only problem is that that was the only drive the computer saw. After cursing a bit and having visions of a reinstallation party, a saner mind realized I'd had an incipient senior moment and reversed the drives on the IDE cable.
A few minutes of fussin 'n' tussin on the cables and all is right with the world. I'll gladly take donations for research into Gb and Gb drives. Final Words. Bus Speeds. Core Voltages Supported. Memory Slots. Expansion Slots. Onboard USB 2. USB 2. Onboard LAN.
