Re: Mac Mini Server



The info of NVidia MCP79 AHCI chipset does support PMware, but Apple does not implement it.
particular, AHCI is an open design, hope some one can come up with a driver to support Port Multiplier feature.


NVidia MCP79 does not support PM ware, it does not mean MAC mini Server can only see connect to TWO SATA drives. Correctly, each SATA port can see a SINGLE VOLUME, therefore you can attach multiple hardware RAID like eBOX-R5

- a hardware raid5 box to enjoy a protect and HUGE storage space

Would someone mind posting a Apple System Profiler report of the new Mac Mini? Not sure if it matters if it is the plain or the server. I think they are the same hardware, just one has a second drive, and no optical.

Specifically looking for details on the SATA stuff. Thanks
