Hello,

I'm going to purchase a PCI-X SATA controller card for an NFS server.
Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 looks good with it's 8 SATA connectors.

Before purchasing, and as my last inquiry, I wanted to make sure that
this particular card is well-supported by FreeBSD.

According to what I've seen in the list archives, it seems to work (with
occasional issues). Is there anything else to keep in mind?

Best regards,

    Moritz
