I'm running FreeBSD 6.0 Release and am looking for a compatible 32bit PCI
SATA controller. I don't need, and can't afford, a hardware RAID solution
so I'm planing on building my storage on vinum. I checked
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/hardware-i386.html for compatible
controllers but from what I can see all that is supported are SATA RAID
controllers.
Does anyone know of a SATA controller or chipset that is known to work
fairly well with FreeBSD (even if not officially supported)?
Most SATA controllers/chipsets I've encountered are supported. I've had good
luck with VIA and SiS controllers. Promise is definitely good if they have
anything in your price range. Just don't buy anything from Silicon Image if
you value your data.
The ata(4) manpage has a more complete list of supported controllers than the
release notes does.
