My conclusion: B Marco's suggestion that I look for cards with the letters IR/IS or IM led me to buy a Fujitsu LSI MegaRAID 1064 Part-NoS26361-F3257-L4 which has the -IR in its firmware name and a SAS1064LE chip. It looks good but I'm still waiting for the SAS - SATA cable which I forgot to order

mpi/mpii cards that do IR/IS or IM should do RAID 1 just fine and are supported by bioctl. You just have to purchase the card carefully and make sure it has one of those acronyms. A bit more expensive would be mfi but those are well supported. What I don't know much about but is cheap are the
