have heard some poor performance claims in this list in the past
regarding adaptec...  have recently been looking at iWill's site
because they use the High Point HPT370 chip...  don't have any other
reference information regarding them though.

As such, I am looking for a low end solution, preferrably IDE based
for RAID on a FreeBSD 4.2 Stable box.  Preferrably RAID 5 (or 4) but
will consider a 0/1 solution with a spare.

The end result should be a system where we can identify a failed
drive, rip out and replace with fresh drive, and have it reconstruct
the striping and mirroring over the new drive rebuilding the
redundancy in case of another failure.

Yes, we will be moving to a SCSI based solution in 6-9 months. Right
now we want to make use of the IDE systems and drives we have laying
around or can be cheaply obtained for the interim.

Thanks

Dave
