be a big plus for RAID 5, though.

You don't need an additional controller necessarily, because you can set up a

I have heard (though I have no direct experience with it) that the 3Ware

I didn't know hot swap was possible with software raid!
How can I tell if the ATA chipset on my system has hot-swap capability?

Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 4.7 box. It has a promise raid card supporting two
drives in a mirrored config. It has two drives on the IDE bus. I had
to physically move the motherboard to a different case. In the old case
config, the drives were connected to a ATA card to get over the 137g
