Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I've been using the Adaptec 2100S and the 3200S and have been running in to bizarre issues when it's necessary to hot-swap a drive (for example, removing a drive, zapping a new one (in another spot), and putting it back in where the failed drive was, causes the entire RAID1 to be inaccessable - the card isn't abstracting enough.) I'm looking at my options and I'm curious what others have used and how happy they are with them? Assume that price is a concern but it is not _the_ concern - reliability is.
