Depends what you want to do with it.  My experience is with my own
desktop machines for RAID-0 or RAID-1, and for those the Promise cards
(or equivalent onboard chips in my case) have never given me a problem
beyond having to wait a few days for a bit of tweaking in -CURRENT once
in a great while.  These particular Promise chips don't do "real hard
raid" AFAIK, but thanks to Soeren Schmidt they work fine in FreeBSD.
