I'm looking to upgrade one of our FreeNAS boxes at work that is currently running 9.2. From my personal experience on my home box, 9.3+ tends to shred thumb drives in no time, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a pair of SATA DOM's for the boot pool. Unfortunately, I'm out of SATA ports, and will need to add a PCI card. This being for the boot disk, I really don't need anything fancy or fast (as basically anything will be faster than the current single USB thumb drive anyway), I just need it to be boot compatible. I was originally looking at a ASM1061 chipset card from Syba, but it seems that FreeNAS can't boot from that card per this comment: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/sata-controller-problem.6117/#post-52394 Any good suggestions for a decent cheap card?
