The mpi man page mentions a HP card (EH417AA). Even though it's a HP
branded card, you can go to lsi.com and download the most current
firmware. I have four SATA drives attached in 2 RAID1 arrays, works
extremely well. It wasn't hard to find over here, and not expensive. I just
visited a reputable Web shop, searched for EH417AA and that was basically
it.
