I have never seen a non-RAID SAS controller in my life: notice I'm not saying mean they don't exist, but everyone I used was RAID capable. That said, I'm using: Adaptec SAS RAID 3405 aac0@pci0:2:14:0: class=0x010400 card=0x02bb9005 chip=0x02859005 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Adaptec Inc' device = 'AAC-RAID RAID Controller' class = mass storage subclass = RAID Adaptec SAS RAID 3805 aac0@pci0:4:14:0: class=0x010400 card=0x02bc9005 chip=0x02859005 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Adaptec Inc' device = 'AAC-RAID RAID Controller' class = mass storage subclass = RAID Intel SRCSASJV mfi0@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x010400 card=0x10068086 chip=0x00601000 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'LSI Logic (Was: Symbios Logic, NCR)' device = 'SAS1078 PCI-X Fusion-MPT SAS' class = mass storage subclass = RAID I've also used a couple of HPs in the past: I think it was a P400, but I don't have access to those machines any more. Never had any problems with any of these; only note: I could not get access to HP management via FreeBSD, but things might possibly have changed since then. N.B. I'm using 7.x, but I see no reason why 8.1 should be more troublesome. bye av.
