Hardware RAID1 buys you nothing in perfomance and reliability

Intel does seem to have a few hardware-based RAID controllers here:

I don't see any driver or support for them in FreeBSD though.
Those are rebranded LSI Megaraid units, amr(4).
They have mostly-unusable GUI bios (you actually have to have a mouse
plugged in to do anything with it),
no up-to-date FreeBSD control utility, though some reverse-engineering
work resulted in a simple
monitoring utility.
They work ok (SCSI ones at least), but configuration and maintenance
leave much to be desired.
