Hi folks,

I've been googling like crazy and have gotten mixed answers on the
AIC-7902's RAID support.

The product spec says it can do RAID-0 and RAID-1.  Other articles show
benchmarks involving RAID-5.  I'm concerned that this is software
RAID-5, which won't do me any good at all for FreeBSD.

Any FreeBSD users using an AIC-7902 with 3 or more disks in a RAID-5
configuration?

Thanks,
Sheldon.
