Typo?
Yes - LSI SAS 9200-8e is probably the one. Basically you want one with a chipset supported by the mpt_sas driver. 'man mpt_sas' says these are the LSI SAS200x/2108 chips. <http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS9200-8e.aspx> The only thing I'd say about the DL360G7 is that IIRC there are only two PCIe slots so if you want more HBAs, or more NICs (it has 4 on the motherboard - bnx driver), you're a bit constrained. > Does ZFS still prefer JBOD/direct access to the disks?
