MARVELL 88SE9128 CHIPSET DRIVERS
I highly doubt the drivers are already build into the base version of FreeBSD. However, since the HBA is apparently bottlenecked at 75-88MB/s per port, and I'm planning to connect both enclosures to the same HBA (since PCIe slots are at a premium), I've been looking at more performant options, namely a StarTech-branded card based on the Marvell 88SE9128 chipset, supported by the ahci(4) driver and supposedly (at least according to the above blog post) not bottlenecked at the link level. 1) WD sata3 10K on Marvell controller 88SE9128 The Marvell controller is not supported by ESXi, nor am I aware of a Whitebox driver that you could use for it. Hi I got a sata controller with the Marvell SATA 88SE9125/88SE9120 chipset.
The disks I'm planning to use are 2 TB Samsung HD203WIs. It comes with a SiI3132-based HBA, which seems to be well supported by the siis(4) driver. The enclosure uses a SiI3726 port multiplier to provide access to the disks through a single eSATA connector. What About P5x/H5x Unlike Intel’s X58, the P55 and H5x chipsets don’t have any PCIe 2.0 lanes. SATA controller integrated in Intel ICH10R/Marvell 88SE9128/JMicron JMB362 chipset - Supports six SATAII ports (SATA1SATA6) by ICH10R - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA7SATA8) by Marvell 88SE9128. I'm running 9.0-RELEASE on a HP N36L MicroServer and just bought two CFI-B8253ER DAS enclosures in order to expand my existing ZFS storage pool. This PCIe 2.0 x1 card has a Marvell 88SE9128 6Gbps controller on it.
