I've spent the better part of today doing various web searches in Google, searches in newegg.ca/ncix.com, digging through mailing list archives (-hardware and -stable), man pages, and vendor websites looking for well-supported SATA/SAS adapters for use in FreeBSD storage servers. These servers

Hi, If that one uses the LSI1068 chipset, do you know which one uses the LSI1078 chipset? Supermicro's AOC-USAS-H8iR uses LSI1078: http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS-H8iR.cfm Dell PERC 6/i is based on LSI1078 as well.
