I have been using the Areca cards on a couple of production boxes 
with good results so far.  They work out of the box with FreeBSD 5.4 and above.

http://www.areca.com.tw/products/html/pciE-sata.htm

They are nice and fast and have a decent cli and web interface to 
them.  The drivers are in the tree. See the man pages for arcmsr


[ns6b]# ./cli "vsf info"
