Is the any PCIe SAS controller that is supported by FreeBSD 8.1 that I can purchase today? The controller should preferably be low-profile. RAID is not needed since I have just one disk, but if only RAID controllers are available, I can live with that. FreeBSD supports several controllers, but most of them seems old and impossible to purchase today. I have tried a new Adaptec 2405 but I have serious issues with data inte- grity (the beginning of the virtualised disk does not read back the same data as just written). It is unknown if this is a problem with the cont- roller or with the FreeBSD drivers. Due to technical and administrative experiences with Adaptec during this process, no other Adaptec controller will be considered, see <http://gmplib.org/~tege/adaptec.html>. The Supermicro controllers listed by FreeBSD as supported seem to be rebranded Adaptec controllers, and they are therefore also disqualified. The LSI controllers FreeBSD list as supported at <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/hardware.html>; (with the mpt driver) are no longer in production, as far as I can tell. My hope is that some currently produced LSI controllers actually work with FreeBSD 8.1. Please help if you know something about that. --=20 Torbj=F6rn
