throughput of southbridge with many disk?
I had an Asus mainboard that had 8 SATA ports and 3 IDE ports.
I presume you could not run them all at once. It got me thinking about I/O bottlenecks. Intel ditched the ICH chipsets, supposedly because the CPU-southbridge traffic got stifled (although I remember i7 Nehalems were still running ICH10 instead of the new chipsets on i3/15). So, if you were trying to build a poor-man's server with a desktop board, how many disks can you feasibly handle? I presume if you pay for a server chipset, they will cope with more shovels throwing coal into the boiler. |

So, if you were trying to build a poor-man's server with a desktop board, how many disks can you feasibly handle? There is no nice tidy number. I presume if you pay for a server chipset, they will cope with more shovels throwing coal into the boiler. Its more complicated than that. |

I found this review
