3Ware cards are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Whatever code they

NetBSD machines. I believe the driver is a

Hi everyone,
a friend of mine and I are thinking a BSD (NetBSD or FreeBSD) system
and would like to have RAID-1 hardware. Preferably, an affordable
S-ATA RAID version. So far, we're wondering which controller would be

What we've come up with so far are the Adaptec 1210SA S-ATA
I am also interested in this as well. raid 5 would be a bonus.

What is the amount of money you would like to shell out for the card?
As I mentioned, it's supposed to be relatively cheap. Say 50 to 100 EUR.
(US$ 65 - 125 as present rates). I should've given the figure in my first
