There is no PCI-X support on the server boards I have in mind, so I can only validate PCI-E adapters. There's a twa driver in sys/dev/raid/ but it has not been updated since 2004, so I guess none of the recent 3Ware adapters are supported. There's also a mpt driver in sys/dev/disk/ which has been recently updated. No trace of a mfi driver. I will focus on LSI external adapters for now. -- Francois Tigeot
