Does anyone have a recommendation for one?

I am looking to connect a LTO tape drive to a FreeBSD 7 or 8 box and I've only 
ever used Adaptec 19160 and similar cards and LVDS SCSI.

Our supplier has an LSI SAS3081E-R which is not outrageously expensive, has 
anyone used one?

Yes, I've got one, it works fine :)

Ahh, good news, thanks :)

Have you used it with a tape drive?

You may want to flash the non-raid firmware from LSI onto it.

OK thanks.

I just realised it doesn't have any external connectors so I'll have to find another candidate.

Have a look here, you might find something to bring an internal port out of the chassis:

However I do see the LSI spec sheet for it lists the chip which is listed in 
mpt(4) so I should be able to find something.
