They use the mptsas driver in linux which works ok for a long time, and can be found for ~ 130$. It work pretty fast (~ 800 Mo/s with a 8 drives raid10f2 in my brand new nehalem server). You can also find this one for ~ 120 bucks : http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-SASLP-MV8.cfm No proprietary slot this time, the chipset is supported in 2.6.30 (but I haven't tested it yet) via the mvsas drivers. Hope you find this usefull.
