The following Adaptec cards are based on DPT designs: 3200s 3210s 3400s 3410s Other supported adapters include: Mylex Acceleraid LSI/AMI Megaraid Nice thing about the Adaptec/DPT cards is that at least at the moment, they're the only ones that have FreeBSD-specific control utilities available so you can monitor or change the status of the array without rebooting.
