I got tired of waiting for FreeBSD support for the Areca ARC-1300ix-16 or its future 6gbps replacement.
Does anyone know if the LSI SAS 9201-16i is supported? Probably a long shot since it isn't listed on the LSI website or in the FreeBSD 8.1 hardware list but the hardware list does show the LSI 9260 so I thought I'd check.
Otherwise, does anyone else have any suggestions for a 12 port or higher HBA? I'd rather not spend 2 or 3 times as much on a full blown RAID card since I'm not going to use the RAID. It's for 12 SATA drives but I'd like good performance, which my current 4 on motherboard + 8 on a Highpoint card isn't delivering.
