Apparently some variants may cause a slow boot process as the
chip is incorrectly detected as having 32 SATA ports instead of
6.

Other than that, no obvious problems. However, an unflashed LSI
92xx or 93xx in -8i variants is typically under $50 US; if
you're buying a new card, especially for a fileserver, get that
instead, and flash it in IT mode (no RAID support).
