Nice, will probably order one then. Pity its not supported in freebsd yet, do you know were you can find the status of the freebsd drivers? Heard they are in 9.0 dev version.
For just running 8 sata disks in raidz2 would the AOC-USAS2-L8i be just as fine as the AOC-USAS2-L8E? Will proably run it on OpenSolaris or some fork until it is supported by FreeBSD.
Are your tests only with raidz? no raidz2 tests?
I have been thinking about a setup of 8xSamsung Eco F4 in raidz2.
But raidz2 on the 4k Samsung wont align with 8 disks right?
