I will be installing pfSense. Unfortunately I did not pay attention when I ordered the machine and have come to realize that the RAID controller does not have any drivers for FreeBSD. Of course IBM states they do not support FreeBSD either. Are there any suggestions on a controller to purchase for this unit. It would have to be pci express and low profile and support SAS. I know I can do a software RAID but rather avoid that if possible.
