We are starting to use Solid State Drives (http://www.intel.com/design/flash/nand/extreme/index.htm) and I'm looking forward to trying them as locally attached storage with ESXi. Supermicro has a nice 2U case that fits 24 units. Unfortunately no one (HP, Dell, IBM) has any configured systems on the market yet. The industry seems to be standardizing on the SATA interface for these devices. We want to put them in a Raid array for fault tolerance. Are any SATA Raid controllers supported from the ESXi install media? We are not interested in kludging together a USB Boot device using unsupported drivers.
Thanks
