Assuming you mean hardware RAID controllers and a standard IA32 machine:

Depending on which version of FreeBSD you want to run, take a look at:

    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.9R/hardware-i386.html#AEN33

or

    http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.2.1R/hardware-i386.html#AEN65

and look at the man pages linked from those documents for more
detailed lists of precisely what models are known to work.  Your
vendor will be able to tell you what RAID cards they use -- systems by
popular suppliers like Dell and Compaq are generally well supported.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
