I have, like many others, run into trouble with anything that starts with a "2" as the first digit. I have a quite-large system here that has an LSI adapter and an expander behind that, then a gaggle of SATA drives. Zero trouble over the space of many months and very, very heavy load. The only "gotcha" is that I've been able to get it to boot off anything on the expander, so you need to leave one HBA port open for boot drives; that appears to be a limitation in the IT firmware on the LSI board as you can't designate such a drive as a boot candidate for the BIOS.
