Hi:

I am starting the process of replacing an older 2RU server that uses an
Intel ServerBoard and Adaptec 2110S low profile SCSI RAID card.  This
thing is several years old and much has changed since I last built one
(using 2200S).

Does FreeBSD now support any of the Intel ServerBoard on-board SCSI RAID
systems, or is it still advisable to go with a separate card?  If
separate, what's a good, current (preferably Adaptec) low-profile SCSI
RAID card that FreeBSD 6.x has suitable drivers for?

Please reply directly, as I am not subscribed.

Thanks!
