Awesome - thank you!

Can you tell me which SATA controller was installed when this crash was taken?

In general, I expect they are better supported but I never worked with
SAS controllers.

Sorry: I don't have any experience with adaptec - only the LSI SCSI

(IIRC). The SI3124 was a PoS. MV7042 worked well and was reliable "at
