Hello, I know that this card has support in FreeBSD but I'm curious if anyone has used them under heavy load in a RAID-5 configuration. We're thinking of equipping two of these cards with 8 120GB Hitachi drives and run it in an RAID-5 array for video material. The usual data streams will likely be 2-3 streams at about 5-20MB/s (totally) and I know that a single drive will handle that, but I'm unsure if the HPT 454 is really stable in FreeBSD. We'll be running this on a 4.8 installation. Now to my questions... Is the HPT 454 card & driver production stable? Do you think that it will handle 60MB/s (read)? Has anyone had a drive failure with this card and successfully replaced it while the system was running or am I placing my hopes too high?
