The mainboard is a supermicro X10SLM-F with Xeon e3 1200v3. I have had no success with an old LSI SAS 1064 based controller (Fujitsu Siemens brand 3041E-FSC (L3-00131-01c), PCIe gen1). I recon this one is supported by FreeBSD drivers, but I can't get it to work with the mainboard (controller is not detected). A new firmware on the controller might help, but alas I don't have any suitable spare box to do the flashing. I am currently looking into buying a newer Adapatec 6405H, which is known to work with the mainboard, but Adaptec support told me there is no driver for FreeBSD. Can anyone confirm this? Note that this is _not_ the RAID controller 6405 or 6405T. Considering the similar names, could the 6405H HBA be a stripped down version of the RAID controller and thus be supported by the same driver (if any)? Thanks for your help!
