It was expected to have 3ware 9650SE 16 port controller. However, the vendor wants to replace this controller with MegaRAID SAS 84016E, because, as they say, they have it on stock, while 3ware would be available in a few weeks. Is this a good replace, generally? Will it run on FreeBSD, specifically? Thanks Irek.
