Wow! With Solaris 10, Sun Microsystems has done a marvelous job of bringing Solaris fully into the x86 world. Gone are the days when Solaris only runs on Sun hardware or when it only runs well on Sun hardware. Solaris 10 comes with greatly expanded off-the-shelf x86 hardware compatibility and a license that is hard to beat. It's a binary right to use and Open Solaris, the open source version is soon to come. IT Managers that have been wanting to bring a stable, scalable Operating Environment into their network infrastructures, but who have been unwilling to commit to the Sun hardware platform, for various reasons, are now free, pun intended, to bring Solaris on board and to run it on the hardware of their choice.

Maybe you should pay attention to what MJ and I are talking about here instead of trolling! Even if Sun supported your 3Ware IDE controller it would be limited by what the Solaris kernel determines as the "best" data transfer rate.
Remember Solaris=!Linux, if you want bleeding edge hardware go with Windows or Linux. I can remember a time where Linux had the same issues, I guess everybody forgot about those days! And before the Canopy Group got a hold of SCO (the other major x86 Unix vendor) SCO was just as picky about hardware as Solaris is. I think it is a good thing that "everything" is not supported.
