However keep in mind that Highpoint support is nearly clueless. When
the 1820a first shipped we were unable to find anyone on staff that
knew what FreeBSD was, or how to read a problem report.
No experience with Areca. 3ware is very clueful and capable.

How did you locate them? Highpoint support told us that a third
party did the freebsd driver and that they had no intention of
supporting it.
FYI, several people have claimed that the 1820a is "hardware" -- this
is untrue. It's hardware accelerated, but all of the raid logic is
in the driver. It's sludgeware", not hardware raid. Performance
tests against a real hardware raid adapter will demonstrate what I mean.
