Why don't you just use gmirror(8) and do software RAID 1?

IMHO a controller just for RAID 1 is unnecessary,
as the OS together with a reasonable motherboards disk controller
is just as fast as any RAID controller.

Ah, I knew I should have mentioned this.
The motherboard I will be using has no native SATA support so I will need
to purchase a(n) SATA controller anyway.
Also, I tend to prefer hardware solutions to software solutions
(*cough*evilWinModem*cough*).

I started using only 3ware cards a while ago. It was a good choice. Lots of other seem to have the same experience too.

Also maybe see: http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/mirror/
for more details.

Thanks.  I'll have a look.
