 	I'm pretty sure the mpt(4) drivers are used for this controller.
 
 	When I first saw your question, I thought you meant drives, and 
 although I'm not sure if it will be useful they're SASCSI drives (not 
 SATA drives, although the connectors and cables are the same) -- a 
 pair of Seagate Cheetah 72 GB model ST373454SS drives.
