Yeah, it's worth mentioning that the Adaptec command-line RAID utility is not only well-maintained for FreeBSD, there's a .tgz package you can grab from adaptec.com. I've been using an Adaptec 3200S with 150GB under RAID 1 under load, and it screams. Highly recommended. Too bad about 3ware, this is news to me too that it's poorly supported under *BSD.
