We use a Dell RAID 5 card that emulates an Adaptec at a Web Services
provider I work with.  This is under BSD/OS, but I imagine it would work
fine under FreeBSD also.  The RAID is all handled below the level of the
operating system, and the emulation seems very complete, and even allows
for an auto-rebuild on a Hot-swap.  I don't have chipset information
with me currently, though.  Speak to their server people and they should
be able to help you.
