I need to add "more than two' internal SATA _ports_ to a box that will be running FreeBSD 9. When I look at inexpensive SATA controllers, they all seem to be using chipsets thar are _not_ explicitly mentioned in the 'supported hardware' list. Can anyone say, authoritatively, that, say, a 'SiL3114'-based cnntroller card will work in FreeBSD, as far as 'bare drive' functionality goes? Alternatively, can anybody recommend an inexpensive 4-port (or more) SATA controller card that is known to work with FreeBSD? _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org" I have used a SIL3112 card on FreeBSD 7 and 8 which is just a 2 port version of the card you are looking at, as far as I recall it worked with no issues. If you want me to check it with 9.0, I can stick it on the machine that the card currently resides in.
