I have a 7506-4LP running Raid 1 on a 4.8 box and it had been working like a
charm. It is not low profile, but don't know why it would matter.

If you don't get SATA or SATA2 the card looks expensive, but I have only
been shopping for a card for a few days so I can't give great advise on
brands. I would suggest storagereview.com for that.
Have you tried emailing [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Also FreeBSD can do raid5 with vinum, or gvinum now. It uses the cpu
and works with whatever controller but will be slower from what I have
heard.
