Hello,
I'm looking for an 8-port SATA controller based on the AHCI chipset, as
according to http://linux.yyz.us/sata/sata-status.html#vendor_support
this chipset is completely open.
I've searched the websides of the companies which according to
http://linux.yyz.us/sata/sata-status.html#ahci base some of their
products on this chipset, but I couldn't find an 8-port controller.
I've also googled, but without success, hence this somewhat offtopic
message. Although I hope the response helps others in their quest.
The question: does an 8-port AHCI based SATA controller exist? And if,
where can I find it? 12, 16 or 24 ports will do too. I don't need HW
raid, just JBOD.
Some background info: I have a 24-disk chassis which is currently filled
with 7 disks, and will soon be filled with 12 disks. The 7 disks are
spread across two Promise SX8 controllers and the onboard nVidia
controller. 3 On each SX8 and one onboard. The disks have a small
partition dedicated to SW raid1 and a large partition dedicated to SW
raid5. One disk acts as a spare.
The performance of the SX8 is very bad because the in-kernel driver
handles one request per controller to safeguard against corruption.
This is what the comment in drivers/block/sx8.c states:
/*
* SX8 hardware has a single message queue for all ATA ports.
* When this driver was written, the hardware (firmware?) would
* corrupt data eventually, if more than one request was outstanding.
* As one can imagine, having 8 ports bottlenecking on a single
* command hurts performance.
*
* Based on user reports, later versions of the hardware (firmware?)
* seem to be able to survive with more than one command queued.
*
* Therefore, we default to the safe option -- 1 command -- but
* allow the user to increase this.
*
* SX8 should be able to support up to ~60 queued commands
* (CARM_MAX_REQ),
* but problems seem to occur when you exceed ~30, even on newer
* hardware.
*/
static int max_queue = 1;
In my tests with 'static int max_queue' I tried 30, 16, 4 and 2. With 30
and 16 I get instant corruption on the fs (ext3, which remounts ro
quickly on error). With 4 I need to hit it a bit harder to see
corruption, and with 2 the fs is rock solid.
o The performance with anything larger than 2 seems acceptable.
o It was also harder to hit with larger chunk sizes for the SW raid.
I've flashed the SX8 controllers with the latest BIOS/firmware, so
that's not the problem. NCQ is disabled in the SX8 BIOS, as the
in-kernel driver doesn't support NCQ and others have reported instant
corruption with NCQ enabled.
I've contacted Promise Support about this (including the sx8.c comment
and my findings). They replied:
===
Case Solution: I have not seen this problem in any os.
We populate all the drives and then put data into all seperate
logical drives. It has worked fine. One problem that you might be
having is that you are creating one large volume with a bunch of
smaller volume. This card is not made for that.
If you need a raid card use a card with a raid engine. If your trying
to software raid it your going to get errors.
I have not seen what you are talking about because we use this card
for basic or ext 3 ext 2 single hard drives. Try doing this that way.
===
This nonsense reply made me quite angry and disappointed with Promise.
The SX8 seemed a realy nice controller for a good price if you only need
JBOD support. But I guess in the end you always get what you pay for.
FWIW, this is with a pure 64bit kernel 2.6.16-rc1 on a Tyan K8SE
motherboard.
Thanks a lot in advance.
With kind regards, Sander

Hmm, I am not sure what the specs of AHCI are. Not sure if it supports
2 or 4 or more ports. The only controllers I have seen that run more
than 4 ports, are some raid cards, such as 3ware and areca. 3ware has
had linux support for years, and areca is getting there. Both of those
make 12+ port cards, which can run in JBOD mode.

According to page 7 of the
"Serial ATA Advanced Host Controller Interface Revision 1.1"
(available at http://www.intel.com/technology/serialata/ahci.htm), AHCI
supports up to 32 ports.
For example, Silicon Image 3124 also looks good on paper, but only
supports up to 4 ports.

Yeah, I know, but because of their real 'hardware' raid, these cards are
three times more expensive per port. And I just need JBOD.
Thanks for your time. Kind regards, Sander

I've run some tests with this card under Linux and done pretty well:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/DAC-SATA-MV8.cfm
They also have a 3.0Gb version.
Not sure if that is AHCI, but it is eight port.
I got the drivers here:
http://www.keffective.com/mvsata/FC3/
The latest was mvSata_Linux_3.6.1.tgz as of 2005-10-13.
Hope that helps.

Hmm, that's a nice feature set. Here is hoping everyone will consider
switching to that, and that no one screws it up and makes a mostly but
not quite compliant version.

Really? How much does a 24 port areca card cost? Is it 12 times the
cost of a two port promise card?
I haven't looked at the prices lately.

Not sure about the two port, but for example the SX8 is 180 dollars at
pricewatch.com, while an Areca 12-port starts at 756 dollars. That is
22.5 dollars per port vs 63 dollars per port. More or less the same goes
for 3Ware.
Of course you can't compare Areca/3Ware with the SX8 feature-wise, but
all I need JBOD.

about $1400 for pci-x or $1900 pci-express.
you might try the promise sataII-150 sx8 which is 8 ports per card and is
about $200

The jump to a full-on sata raid controller is pretty steep.

Hmm, well the 24 port is listed at 1278, so less per port than the 12
port for sure, but if you only need 8, then well... :)
Of course I doubt there is that big a market for an 8 port NON raid
card, which might explain why there doesn't seem to be any. Of course
if there aren't any it is hard to have a market exist for them.

Well personally I have never seen more than 4 ports per card on a non
hardware raid card. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but it makes it
a lot less likely that they exist in my book. :)

Actually, I need 24 ports :-) But 3x SX8 sets me back 540 dollars
according to pricewatch, which is less than half.

Fakeraid controllers are less expensive, and would do too of course :-)

Well, I have two of them and are looking for a replacement as the SX8 is
very slow. I started the thread with that actually :-)

Marvell has their own chipset, according to

I know with older promise controllers, it wasn't possible to run more
than 2 in one system as far as I remember due to some dma issues. Not
sure if that applies to the SX8.
If it turns out the SX8 has issues (like the one pointed out earlier
about number of commands to the card at once) or that it can't have 3
cards in one system at once, then what? Are you then out $540 + the
cost of a better controller? Certainly worth finding out before
spending the money.
> Fakeraid controllers are less expensive, and would do too of course :-)
Of course those aren't hardware, and are only meant for small toy raids
for windows users. The rest of use treat them as ide/sata controllers
only. I haven't seen one of those with more than 4 ports either. If
the SX8 is one, then I must admit I haven't looked at it before. I try
to avoid hardware from promise whenever possible.

They do, but I could never find them. At least, not that made sense to me.
The mvSata_Linux drivers were the GPL'ed, and then "extended" versions, IIRC.
It's been a while since I've researched that.

I do too. However, I was trying to use a Supermicro P4SCi motherboard and it
*would not boot* with two SX8 cards and more than 8 SATA drives hooked up,
regardless of configuration (7 on one card, 2 on the other, etc). So, I had
to find another eight port card. And besides, the MV8's are about half the
price of the SX8's. :) So I went with what worked.

Highpoint has some that I believe are software raidish.
They do have on-board parity generators that are used when
you use there binary only modules.
I have heard that they will work with later kernels (2.6.15+)
since the highpoint are a standard Marvell chipset, and they
seem to be fairly price competitive with JBOD raid controllers,
and have some controllers that have more than 8 ports, the price
per port may be better on the larger controllers.
Using 3 disk software stripe (linux) or 3 disks software stripe
(binary modules) I have got IO rates of 135MB/second sustained
over 90-100 GB read/write tests.

Actually there is a sata_mv driver in the kernel, however it's pretty
experimental right now. I'm sure it could use testers :-)

Interesting. I understand it going through testing, but why didn't they pull
in the mvSata driver referenced above? It was already GPL. Or did they pull
in that driver and just want testing?

Did you look at the driver? I'm guessing no :-)
Additionally, it didn't interface with libata at all. A native libata
driver is greatly preferred.

Yeah, sorry. I think I looked through some of the code, but not to the level

I have a few systems which need 24 ports, so I could spread them, but
you are right of course.

Exactly what I need (and am looking for). An 8+ sata controller. I would
not use the fakeraid.

I did too, but their attitude towards Linux seems to have changed, and I
am pretty pleased with their SATA150 TX4.

Hm, thanks for the tip :-) This seems a good one indeed. I try to dig

Something important to note, if you need to use highpoints binary
driver (ie the one in the kernel is not quite working yet) - then you
will need to run a 2.6.13 or earlier kernel, their driver has some
issue with 2.6.14+ they are working on it.
I believe this also holds true of the Marvell drivers also, highpoints
driver is (from what I can tell) a modified Marvell driver with their
binary software raid support added on, so the Marvell driver *may* also
have an issue with the later kernels.
