Err, when I said:

...I'm not sure what I was thinking; that board of course uses
the MV88SX6081, with sata_mv.
Btw, I just noticed this discussion:
http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=10
...which talks about all kinds of SAS/SATA multiport controllers.
Note that 3 TB Hitachi's are currently on sale at Newegg today for
$130 after applying a $20 discount code. Anyone have anything to say
about 'em?
Oddly, I see various people claiming the MV8 will or won't support
anything over 1 TB, without much agreement. I don't know if that's
something that 4K sectors helps with, though the drives I've tried,
while being Advanced Format, also erroneously report 512B secotors.
(I've hung 2 TB Samsung's off several and they seem just fine; I also
tried a WDEARS20. Dunno if 3 TB's are any reason to think differently.)
