Just tossing this out there for the archives really, but the 3ware 9690SA is a 
really nice solution for SAS on FreeBSD.  

Also, if you have one grab the firmware 3ware released yesterday, it's good 
for a substantial performance increase.  (This also applies to 9650 SATA 
controllers as well)  For even bigger bonus you can do the firmware update in 
OS from FreeBSD with tw_cli

I've used the Dell Perc/5 and an LSI 3041R-E HBA and neither one have the 
performance or in os monitoring that this 3ware does.
