The latest smartpqi drivers for FreeBSD can also be found here. https://sto=
rage.microsemi.com/en-us/speed/raid/aac/unix/smartpqi_freebsd_v1.0.3-2323_t=
gz.php

These will work with the HPE Gen10 Smart Array controllers as well.

Yes, well, I have on a DL360 gen10, it is the 2U rack version, with a diffe=

Well, so I have experience with the P4xx series on FreeBSD, I have installe=
d it successfully on Gen6, Gen8, and Gen10.

The Linux Driver for RHEL from HPE suggest that the HPE E208 is a newer HPE=
 Microsemi Controller, using the smartpqi drivers.

FreeBSD has support for the smartpqi driver https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man=
.cgi?query=3Dsmartpqi&sektion=3D4&manpath=3Dfreebsd-release-ports
So I would say the HPE E208 should work under FreeBSD 12.
