I have a somewhat older HP server for home use (HP ML10 v2), and the built-in SATA is mostly fine, but you can only boot off of certain ports, and there's no BIOS option to select which port to boot off of (known issue on an otherwise nice/cheap/IP-KVM-equipped server).
I currently have a generic 2-port SATA PCIe card in there with an ASMedia ASM1062 chipset. It's always been a little weird, even with just a single boot ssd hanging off it. When I added a second with gmirror, it really just went nuts with parity errors. Multiple drives, multiple brand new SATA cables...
So is there anything under $50 that's known to work well with FreeBSD and isn't from the "enterprise" side of things? I'd prefer new stock, but if there's some stellar card I can pick up used on ebay, I'm fine with that as well.
