[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I'm going to buy a new storage-server and don't know yet which storage-controller to take. We found it the cheapest way to buy an external jbod-storage and a small server with an sas-controller. The chosen jbod will support SAS2, and as the system will have to last at least three years, we want something that can cope with growing disk-io - especially when using several raidzs and generating more and more overhead. Our vendor suggested us a LSI 9200-8e or 9280-4i4e [and a mainboard with onboard LSI2008]. But after searching a bit, I did not find anyone who uses this one in FreeBSD yet. There are 32bit-drivers directly from LSI, but we want to use the 64bit-port. New drivers were uploaded in September, but no reviews yet whether they work.u If you were to buy a sas2-controller, which one would you take? Or did anyone test these new drivers? Btw: The chassis will be a SuperMicro 847E-RJBOD1 - do you have any experience with that one? Is it recommendable?
