My only requirement is that SATA works. My current setup (with an SI3112) encounters DMA timeouts regularly on the SATA disks leading to slowdowns, instability, and (in one case) a trashed partition. I don't care about RAID, I'm not going to be using GEOM or anything like that, I just want to plug my disks (Maxtor DiamondMax9s) into it and have it work. Can anyone recommend, preferably backed up by personal experience, a motherboard or chipset which reliably works with FreeBSD and SATA? :) Thanks, James --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFCuBOfUWe8Tthgz30RAkS8AKD4Rfy6s5wvTBkUCExy7Ey1w4MB2wCfagah 8KPz70icEp5PDbCRWiqW7a8= =8Q3p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4Ckj6UjgE2iN1+kY--
