The controller should preferably be low-profile. RAID is not needed since I have just one disk, but if only RAID controllers are available, I can live with that. FreeBSD supports several controllers, but most of them seems old and impossible to purchase today. I have tried a new Adaptec 2405 but I have serious issues with data inte- grity (the beginning of the virtualised disk does not read back the same data as just written). It is unknown if this is a problem with the cont- roller or with the FreeBSD drivers. Due to technical and administrative experiences with Adaptec during this process, no other Adaptec controller will be considered, see . The Supermicro controllers listed by FreeBSD as supported seem to be rebranded Adaptec controllers, and they are therefore also disqualified. The LSI controllers FreeBSD list as supported at (with the mpt driver) are no longer in production, as far as I can tell. My hope is that some currently produced LSI controllers actually work with FreeBSD 8.1. Please help if you know something about that. --=20 Torbj=F6rn
