Buying the server with B140i controller is not good idea for installing FreeBSD. But it's a "question of money". ;-( The entire series controllers Bxxxi often has bugs and performance degradation in FreeBSD. As a workaround to install FreeBSD with the controller Bxxxi you can use following recommendation: --------------------------------------------- Turn off the software RAID in BIOS, and it should work fine. To disable the Bxxxi RAID, do this: On Boot press F9 and enter the Setup System Options SATA Controller Options Embedded SATA Configuration : Enable SATA Legacy Support HP Dynamic Smart Array Bxxxi RAID Controller : Disabled PCI Device Enable/Disable Intel(R) SATA Controller #1 : Enabled Intel(R) SATA Controller #2 : Enabled HP Dynamic Smart Array Accelerator Manager : Disabled --------------------------------------------- Network controller 361T should be fine. Integrated network controllers of HP are working well too. I just installed FreeBSD 10.2 on DL360 Gen9 server (K8N32A) with integated network adapter, H240ar HBA disk controller and 2 HDD. https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/hp-gen9-arrays-support.52588/#post-306304 http://forum.lissyara.su/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=43285&p=375871#p375871 It was difficult because HP is not interested in collaboration with FreeBSD. But in general I guess that buying a server K8N32A is very cost-effective for medium projects. I used root on ZFS-sripe - it is a good modern solution.
