Hey,
I had to research this a few months ago, and i found that intel
sata raid5 cards are the best
compared to the 3ware sata range in the way of stability and
support on freebsd, duno about
Promise, but make sure the card has an XOR processor on it to
take some load of the cpu, all
intel raid cards use the same driver which is handy.
