[OmniOS-discuss] Highpoint 640 or 640L

[Eric Sproul]

Use a motherboard that has SATA-III onboard, such as recent Intel Sany
Bridge and Ivy Bridge boards.  Explore http://illumos.org/hcl/ for
SATA-III parts.

The other alternative is not to worry about SATA-III.  A spinning hard
drive can't saturate a SATA-II port as it is.
