we have had very good experiences with the basic 3ware cards, I would recommend them, easy to install, reliable, and good perfomance, in the uk they cost just over 100 pounds, so a similar price to two disks to plug into them. When a disk fails you would willingly pay many times this amount, kind regards, Gerald On Wed, 2 Mar 2005 21:50:41 -0800, pete wright <nomadlogic@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, 2 Mar 2005 17:27:07 +0300, Artem Kuchin <matrix@itlegion.ru> wrote: > > Can anybody recommend cheap IDE mirroring PCI (2.0, not 2.1 or 2.2) > > controller with just 2 IDE ports which works fine with FreeBSD 4.10 ? > > > > It is to be installed on a very old motherboard (1998) and two 40GB IDE > > driver (more or less modern ones, at least not used ones for sure). > > sorry I don't know of any really cheap one's off hand, altho I do have > experience with 3Ware RAID cards on 4.x.
