On OI, a LSI 9211 reflashed to IT mode + an LSI expander is the best solution.
In future the LSI 9207 is a better option (comes with IT firmware out of the box) But this controller is quite new. While OmniOS supports it already I have heard of problems with current OI 151a7 Am 23.07.2013 um 18:36 schrieb CJ Keist: > Been awhile, thank you all for the recommendations.
