Hi,

Supermicro's AOC-USAS-H8iR uses LSI1078:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS-H8iR.cfm

Dell PERC 6/i is based on LSI1078 as well.
http://www.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/pvaul/topics/en/us/raid_controller?c=us&l=en&cs=555

However, these cards are full-blown RAID controllers with their own
CPU, memory and corresponding price.

Yes, it is indeed mfi that supports LSI1078.

The docs, if you're lucky. Cards listed above mention controller chip
explicitly on the product pages.
