Supported SAS controllers (single port)

[Daniel O'Connor]

Does anyone have a recommendation for one?

I am looking to connect a LTO tape drive to a FreeBSD 7 or 8 box and I've only ever used Adaptec 19160 and similar cards and LVDS SCSI.

Our supplier has an LSI SAS3081E-R which is not outrageously expensive, has anyone used one?

This post says it should work so it's my current front runner..
