I'm using ESXi 5.0 on my current freenas system. I'm using a SII 3512 card for the datastore of ESXi 5.0 so I can't upgrade to 5.5 (otherwise I will lose support of the SII 3512).
I was looking at adding 4 more sata ports or more to my system and was looking at the LSI megaraid/IBM option and found this issue with passthrough the https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/836. What other options do you suggest?
Is there a low cost SATA/SAS adapter that I can replace the SII 3512 with? If so I'm ok with upgrading to 5.5 (assuming I get to keep my integrated intel ports passing through). It doesn't sound like I can keep the intel ports though.
