I have been using 3ware controllers on FreeBSD, Linux and Windows for a few years now. They are really great cards, especially under FreeBSD. I have many 6xxx, 7xxx and about half a dozen 8xxx cards deployed with great results. For SMP, I have a 7xxx and one 8xxx on a dual Xeon and one on a Dual Athlon. Our one RAID 5 box works great in the following config Monitor version: ME7X 1.01.00.038 Firmware version: FE7X 1.05.00.056 BIOS version: BE7X 1.08.00.046 PCB version: Rev3 Achip version: 3.20 Pchip version: 1.30-33 Model: 7810 Unit count: 2 ID 0 3ware 3W-7810 disk controller Array Unit 0 Mirror (RAID 1) 37.27 GB OK Port 0 ST340014A 37.27 GB OK Port 1 ST340014A 37.27 GB OK Array Unit 2 Striped with Parity 64K (RAID 5) 745.24 GB OK Port 2 ST3160021A 149.5 GB OK Port 3 ST3160021A 149.5 GB OK Port 4 ST3160021A 149.5 GB OK Port 5 ST3160021A 149.5 GB OK Port 6 ST3160021A 149.5 GB OK Port 7 ST3160023A 149.5 GB OK We use it for an offsite backup server. I had one drive go bad last November. Powered down the box, swapped the dead drive, hit rebuild, and let it go on its merry way rebuilding. ---Mike On Wed, 28 Jul 2004 14:46:29 -0500, in sentex.lists.freebsd.hardware you wrote: > > >Anyone know a good IDE Raid controller that works under a SMP FreeBSD >system? > >I'm looking for something that can do RAID 5, something stable and is >hardware based (I heard some controllers just use the main CPU to do raid >instead of having a built on chip). > >Anyone use 3ware cards under FreeBSD? > > >-Jack > >_______________________________________________ >freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list >http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware >To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"help
