Not sure about DragonFlyBSD, but FreeBSD fully supports these cards (mpt(4), mfi(4), twa(4)): 4-port PCI-X: LSI SAS 3041X-R 8-port PCI-X: LSI SAS 3080X-R 4-port PCIe: LSI SAS 3041E-R 8-port PCIe: LSI SAS 3081E-R There's also the 3Ware cards (these are SAS and SATA): 4-port PCIe: LSI 3Ware 9690SA-4I 8-port PCIe: LSI 3Ware 9690SA-8I These are SATA, but include support for mini-SAS connectors and do work with SAS drives: 4-port PCIe: LSI 3Ware 9650SE-4LPML 8-port PCIe: LSI 3Ware 9650SE-8LPML 4-port PCI-X: LSI 3Ware 9550SXU-4LP 8-port PCI-X: LSI 3Ware 9550SXU-8LP -- Freddie Cash [email protected]
