Re: IDE Raid Card

I've successfully used the 3-WARE Escalade series.

http://www.3ware.com

FreeBSD recognizes it in the GENERIC kernel with the twe driver.

3ware 7200 is my favorite.  http://www.hypermicro.com/store/raid_adap.htm, 
the 7200-2. It works really well with FreeBSD.

e.g.

The monitoring program works very well too (/usr/ports/sysutils/3dm).  It 
does pretty well everything you want for monitoring.

Hi,

I use Promise FastTrak TX2 with great success for RAID 1 with two disks. 
Worked right away with the GENERIC kernel. A cheap card that does 
exactly what I want. I can probe the array status with atacontrol which 
is pretty much enough for me.

Thanks,
Richard
