I have no experience with PCIe Gig Ethernet or Pseudo-RAID. Have you thought about a SATA RAID board from Adaptec or Promise? There is a ton of information available for running Adaptec SATA RAID on FreeBSD 6.0 (At least, I saw a ton. However, I was looking for info on ATA RAID for my Adaptec 1200A I just setup). The board has 4 regular SATA, 4 RAID SATA and 2 PATA ports. I'm not sure if this info helps you but feel free to contact me offlist if you have any specific questions. Demian
