freebsd-questions:

I have a SOHO network with various x86_64 servers/ workstations/ 
desktops (FreeBSD, Debian, Windows) and an assortment of phones/ pads/ 
pods/ televisions/ game consoles, etc..  I would like to add more SATA 6 
Gbps HDD's and/or SSD's to the x86_64 machines and am 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:
