How many? Assuming 6Gbps per SATA, should it be 3 to provide matching throughput of 20Gbps on the network side?

Also with SATA supported in the FPGA board, how does one access the attached disk via the Network Interface of the FPGA? I assume also iSCSI? So really both iSCSI and SATA needs to be supported on the FPGA logic at the same time to be useful?

  1. The k7 netfpga board will have 4 SATA port, And also sill support SAS.
  2. The SATA logic support k7 is ready. https://github.com/linuxbest/ahci_mpi/
  3. I'll start a new project that will support iSCSI using FPGA logic.
