Hello folks,

after terrible experiences and data loss on IBM ServeRAID-MR10i
(supported by mfi(4) driver), I would ask you which SAS controller
could you suggest?

My requirements: PCI-X SAS controller with 2 or more ports to connect 
SAS drives,
stable and reliable work on FreeBSD 9 (amd64), not expensive solution.
RAID functions aren't required - I work with ZFS.

I have:
- Intel Server Board S5520HCT,
- 2 SAS 2.5in drives 15K rpm for sql database,
- 4 SATA drives for system and web accounts.

Best regards
