I really like 3Ware cards. They are true hardware (XOR) RAID. They have a "neeto" 3DM2 web gui software interface, and it can email you if the array gets into trouble. I think 3Ware has great OS support for BSD. I am using a 3Ware RAID card with (2) WD RAID edition drives, on AMD64 (Hammer) FreeBSD without issue. Define the array via "alt+3" in the BIOS, install BSD as you would for a standard disk. Easy! _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
