Hi All,

Still scouting around for a raid 5 card, and found this little beauty!

http://www.highpoint-tech.com/rr1640.htm

Looking through their web site, and it looks impressive, in that they
actually actively support FreeBSD!

Anyone tried out the 154x, 1640 or 1820 products with FreeBSD 4.x running
raid 5?  Have seen feedback from people running raid 1, but how about raid
5!


Cheers,

Paul Hamilton
