[rescue] FreeBSD and ZFS, was Re: 3ware raid

[Zachary Giles]

This guy here has an awesome run-down of a few cheap and excellent
controllers: http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=10

I'm thinking about getting the marvel one, which is supermicro, Is
that the one you're referring to? I see them for about $95 on newegg:

Basically a tossup of buying 4 of those or running FreeBSD instead. Eh..
