Hi list.

We are looking for a small, cheap, decent performing 19" server to run FreeBSD or possibly FreeNAS, and found the Dell R210 which suits our needs perfectly. However, a lot of people seem to have problems with the SAS 6/ir controller under FreeBSD. According to what I've found on Google, it works, but the performance is horrible. This is a complete showstopper in this case, since the plan was to use the servers as offsite storagenodes.

Does anyone have firsthand experience with the SAS 6/ir, or the PERC S100 in the somewhat more expensive Xeon version of the R210? Or does anyone know of another server with similar size, that is 19" wide and only ~40 cm deep?
