I am planning to purchase Dell PowerEdge 2950 III with RAID 5 configuration.

I checked Hardware Note on FreeBSD site but Dell's PERC6i is not on the

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

1x6 Backplane for 3.5-inch Hard Drives [Included in Price] 

SAS RAID Contoller: 
PERC6i SAS RAID Controller, 2x4 Connectors, Int, PCIe, 256MB Cache, x6 Back 

Hard Drive Configuration:
Integrated SAS/SATA RAID 5, PERC 6/i Integrated

Hard Drive:
Five (5) 146GB 15K RPM Serial-Attach SCSI 3Gbps 3.5-in HotPlug Hard Drive
