SATA Port Multipliers in FreeBSD (6.3)

Hello,

I'm looking to substantially expand the storage on my FreeBSD 6.3 home 
media server.  With regards hardware, the simplest way to attach large 
numbers of drives seem to be to use SATA port multipliers, but I've been 
unable to find any consensus on their level of support in FreeBSD.  I'm 
currently looking at a RocketRAID 2314 and SiI3726 based port 
multipliers.  Has any had any experience with this combination?

Regards,

Christopher Key
