I have already replaced two Adaptec controllers with LSI Logic MEGARAID SATA 150-6 cards. I then added a call to bioctl in /etc/daily.local and I get great information on my arrays every day. I have them setup with 5 drives in a RAID 5 configuration and the sixth drive is a hot spare. I can't say enough about this card and it's support with OpenBSD. My team is targeting a few more servers for Adaptec controller replacement. I explained to Adaptec that we needed full interoperability with th OS since some of the servers are in remote locations. A cute little buzzer doesn't do squat 40 miles away in an un-manned room. In addition to replacing the existing cards, we build our new machines with them. Cheers, Jim
