Highpoint RocketRAID: 1640: 4xSATA, PCI 32bit, 33MHz 1810A: 4xSATA, PCI-X 64bit, 66/100/133Mhz 1820A: 8xSATA, PCI-X 64bit, 66/100/133Mhz 2220: 8xSATA-II, PCI-X 64bit, 66/100/133Mhz With the exception of the 2220 all of the other cards do RAID 5 in software. For your needs just about any RAID card from anyone will do what you want. The main reason I recommended highpoint's raid cards this because the company fully supports FreeBSD 4.x / 5.x with drivers and CLI/GUI management programs. For you hot-swapping needs look here for SATA cages: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=GO&Range=1&bop=and&description=cage&srchInDesc=SATA _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
