Hello list,

what are current recommendations of PCI Express SSD cards running on FreeBSD?

Notes found in HARDWARE.TXT are not too informative about this particular kind of hardware, but, as
I picked from freebsd IRC channel, Intel 910 seems to work.

Any other choices like that?

Thanks
Irek.

Intel 910 is some years old- it is one card with an LSI HBA and some
HGST(?) SAS SSDs on one card. You should go for nvme(4). Intel has the
P3xxx Series in their portfolio.

Anybody tried the Intel SSD 750, which is also NVMe?

Once. But this is basically a rebranded P3500 with very limited writes
(TBW: 127TB- so the large one can just be written 100 times in total).

It's a consumer drive...

Michael!
