I've been running them as a couple RAID-5 volumes under FreeBSD-5.x. Do a search on the lists for CERC and you should find my other postings on this. I had some problems with drives failing but it appears it was an early run of flakey WD1200JB 120GB drives, not the controller. I haven't tried hot swapping or other stuff, but that's not why I bought it.
