The motherboard I will be using has only 2 SATA ports, and would require at least 2 more. Due to where I live (Finland) my options are very limited. Currently I've managed to find two manufacturers with reasonably priced products: DeLock and Promise. These two devices would be perfect - DeLock SX-109A: http://www.jimmspc-store.fi/tuote/SX-109A - Promise FastTrak TX2650: http://www.jimmspc-store.fi/tuote/PROM-202 Do these work with FreeBSD 8.2? And if they do, which driver do they use? I've already browsed thru the hardware notes and googled my ass off without finding any sure facts. So if anyone knows if these two would work, please do tell. Other suggestions also appreciated. -- Arto Pekkanen ksym@IRCnet
