looking for a suitable PCIe 3.0 8 port SATA 6 Gbps host bus adapter
(non-RAID).
The LSI® SAS 9207-8i PCI Express® to 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
Host Bus Adapter looks appealing:

In my opinion Broadcom\LSI\Avago is one of the best hardware storage
solutions you can get.
But, this model is EOL.
I mean if it works it works, but in case of any problems with it in
the future, there will be no official support, no updates to firmware,
no updates/fixes for drivers.
Thank you for the reply. :-)
Most of my hardware is EOL, Broadcom still makes the latest firmware
available, and I assume the FreeBSD mps(4) device driver won't be EOL'd
anytime soon, so the 9207-8i being EOL is not a problem.
Sorry -- this message is also posted to freebsd-questions and I got
confused. :-/
STFW I am unable to determine if the LSI 9207-8i HBA (SAS 2308 I/O
controller) is supported by Linux and Debian (?). Suggestions?
