For this new system I'm building intended to server a lot of sorta small sites I was planning to use vinum over 2 IBM 80 GB disks for the data. System on a 3.x GB SCSI drive. But then we recently saw this discussion regarding IDE RAID's go by as well that I saw some adds for e.g. abit's KT7-RAID. So now I'm wondering. Given that I care about 1. security without backups and 2. speed what can I expect from such a board (or card). I can imagine it would be a tad more efficient than a software only solution and maybe faster as well. But... Does it come with FreeBSD support so that when a disk goes (hopefully only one at a time :) I can resync the new disk without further ado? For that, for me, is crucial above speed. Those d*d things break down on the most awkward times. Usually when there are all sorts of deadlines going on. So I need an easy to fix system. Any suggestions?
