The Perc/6i has an LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 chipset under the hood.  I
know the Linux drivers for the card seemed to stabilize around October,
there's a good sized list of compatible distributions on LSI's site.
FreeBSD support has some limitations but basically works.  I haven't seen
any benchmarks for the current version of the card yet.
