Maybe I've just been lucky. I have a 3114 card configured with two ports internal and two external (E-SATA). There is a ZFS pool configured as a mirror of a 1TB drive on the E-SATA port in an external dock, and a 1TB drive on a motherboard SATA port. It's been running like this for a couple of years, with weekly scrubs, and has so far had no errors. The system is a 32-bit x86 running Solaris-10U6. My 3114 card came with RAID firmware, and I re-flashed it to non-RAID, as others have mentioned.
