Hi,

is there any PCIe SATA controller with 8 ports that has decent FreeBSD
drivers, including NCQ, and decent performance on the level of the ICH
or Nvidia onboard ports?

I don't need hardware RAID.  I suppose I can use an 8-port Areca as a
dumb controller, but that's kinda wastish.

Thoughts?
Martin
