Dell 1900 and SATA

Does anyone know what the standard SATA controller is on on a Dell 1900 
and if it is supported by FreeBSD?  Browsing the Dell website has left 
me goggle eyed and none the wiser :-(

What about the SAS 5/iR?  Is that the same as the Dell PERC5/i listed 
under the mfi driver  or is there some other driver which supports it?  
And does it really support SATA as well as SAS disks as the Dell website 
implies?

Are there any other show stopping issues with these machines?  (I know 
that the ethernet driver had some issues - resolved in 6.2? - and that 
the DRAC5 probably doesn't work well).

All information gratefully received.
