> Are you asking because you need advice on whether or not to purchase it? Yes. I do not own it and am trying to decide whether to buy the 2810SA, which is explicitly mentioned in the 6.1-RELEASE hardware notes, OR the 2820sa which has raid-6, which I want very much. So it sounds like it works just as well as any other aac, like my trusty old PERCs ? In the product description, they list the supported raid levels (0,1,5,10,50) and then list other raid levels (1E,5EE,6,60) under "advanced data protection suite". That's just market copy, right ? Those other raid levels are selectable and controlled trough the raid bios like everyone is always used to ? Or is there some wacky software or plug-in or daughterboard or something ? I want to use raid-6 with FreeBSD, is what I am trying to say. Thanks for your help.
