No, I saw that post. However, I saw one unequivocal "it doesn't work"
earlier (even if I can't show it to you), which implies to me that
whether the card works or not in a particular setup is somewhat
finicky. So here's one datapoint:

Yes. I have an AOC-USAS-L8i working in a regular PCI-E slot in my Tyan 2927

but the thread that Brandon linked to does not contain a datapoint.
For what it's worth, I think these are the only two datapoints I've
seen; most threads about this card end up debating back and forth
whether it will work, with nobody actually buying and testing the
card.
I can tell you that the USAS-L8i absolutely works fine with a Tyan 2927
in a Chenbro RM31616 3U rackmount chassis. In fact, I have two of the
USAS-L8i in this chassis because I forgot that, unlike the 8-port
AOC-SAT2-MV8, the USAS-L8i can support up to 122 drives.
I have 8 drives connected to the first USAS-L8i. They are set up in a
raidz-2 and I get 90-120MB/sec read and 60-75MB/sec write during my
rsyncs from linux machines (this solaris box is only used to store
backup data).
I plan on removing the second USAS-L8i and connect all 16 drives to the
first USAS-L8i when I need more storage capacity. I have no doubt that
it will work as intended. I will report to the list otherwise.
