| | 7 | The FusionMPT SAS is a low-end card from LSI. |
| | 8 | [[BR]]It only supports RAID0 and RAID1 an can usually be found in many 1U rackmount servers which have only two disks drives. |
| | 9 | [[BR]]Even it's not full of features theses card appear to work fine and are supported by an '''opensource Linux driver'''. |
| | 10 | [[BR]] An '''opensource monitoring software''' exists, however there is '''no known management tool''', even proprietary. |

| | 19 | There are many more mpt* drivers in Linux kernel. |
| | 20 | [[BR]]Somes seems to be required dependencies. Others looks like being real driver but we haven't used them yet. |

| | 22 | ''mptsas'' has been part of the mainstream Linux kernel for a while and should be available in all current Linux distributions. |
