Hi,
don't go with BOSS adapter or HBA330. I have both adapters in lab and
they just don't work.
I have working OpenBSD on PERC H740p, PERC H740P Mini, PERC H330 mini,
PERC H310 Mini. I can't remember but I think that H730p should work.

HBA300 doesn't work but if you have NVMe extender then U2 NVMe disk can
be attached to that extender through HBA330 connectors

For me this server is beast because cpu clock can go up to 3.7GHz
It seems that on OpenBSD AMD cpus can have higher clock than Intel cpus
AMD EPYC 7313P 16-Core Processor
Base Clock - 3.0GHz
Max. Boost Clock - 3.7GHz
hw.cpuspeed=3000
hw.sensors.cpu0.frequency0=3700000000.00 Hz
AMD EPYC 7413 24-Core Processor
Base Clock - 2.65GHz
Max. Boost Clock - 3.6GHz
hw.cpuspeed=2650
hw.sensors.cpu1.frequency0=3400000000.00 Hz
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6130 CPU @ 2.10GHz
Base Clock - 2.10 GHz
Max. Boost Clock - 3.70 GHz
hw.cpuspeed=2793
hw.sensors.cpu0.frequency0=2800000000.00 Hz
Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6134 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Base Clock - 3.20 GHz
Max. Boost Clock - 3.70 GHz
hw.cpuspeed=3201
hw.sensors.cpu0.frequency0=3700000000.00 Hz
but this is fujitsu server :)
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643 v2 @ 3.50GHz
Base Clock - 3.50 GHz
Max. Boost Clock - 3.80 GHz
hw.cpuspeed=3600
hw.sensors.cpu0.frequency0=3600000000.00 Hz
Other thing that is interesting, is AES-NI on AMD cpus fast as on Intel
cpus?
