What is the good 8-port SATA card?

[Fryguy8]

Since FreeBSD 7-STABLE has pretty good zfs support at this point, I'm probably going to migrate to it and dump my areca. I need sata ports though. I thought supermicro had some pci-e sata cards, but I remember hearing lots of random problems with some of them. Which one is good?

Dunno about PCI-E but they have a sweet PCI-X one that runs just fine in a standard PCI slot (albeit at the reduced speeds). The SAT2-MV8 SATA. I thought they were slated to do a PCI-E revision of it, but not sure.

Check out my FS thread, I got 3 New LSI's for sale, these will work for your needs.
