While I can't and won't speak of dell products, I can say that our iNET
SATA based Servers on-board RAID controller works with FreeBSD without
issues.

Hi
I later found out that it was an Intel e7520 Chipset and i have seen on
freebsd.org that two testers have tried that card with both 5.4-STABLE
and -RELEASE. I e-mailed them and they only tried the SCSI RAID, not the
SATA. Since we decided the customer did afford SCSI i think i'm fine but
SATA RAID needs a lot of work in FreeBSD. It seems as if everyone is
afraid of it and i am to.
Thank you for your help.

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone here knows if software RAID 1 works well on Dell
PowerEdge SC1425 machines with SATA disks. I hear a lot about SATA
software RAID not working on FreeBSD and my only experience with SATA
RAID and FreeBSD was full of problems so i thought i'd ask here for
other people with experience using Dell PowerEdge machines.
The sales people at Dell didn't know which chipset they had in their
machines so maybe someone here knows? It's a 1U rack server so i assume
it's an onboard SATA card.
We're using gmirror on ours, I haven't actually checked if the
onboard-thing works in FreeBSD. I can get you a verboose boot from a
PowerEdge SC1425 running FreeBSD 6.0 in a couple of days, if that has
interest?
