Hi,I'm running FreeBSD 6.3 (I know, I should upgrade), and I just bought an add-on pci SATA controller for 2 extra SATA disks.
However, a lot of disk activity on the drives will often cause the machine to crash and spontaneously reboot. I checked out which chipset was on the card with pciconf -lv and I found it was the Sil 3512. Googling showed me that I'm not the only one with problems using this card.
Does anybody have experience with a (preferably not too expensive) 2-port SATA expansion card which does not have any issues running under FreeBSD 6.3/7.0?
