I have always recommended 3ware cards and still do. Its officially supported now as well, however support prior to that through the drivers natively present has been most excellent. My news server has a series of RAID0 drives, my main mail spool on RAID10. My offsite backup server is .75TB box on RAID 5. In fact, today we pulled a dead drive from that box (dead as in knocking dead) and added a new one and all was well. We are just starting to use the SATA versions of the cards. Its the same interface so it was really easy to integrate into our mix and uses the same stable drivers in STABLE. ---Mike On Wed, 4 Feb 2004 16:24:39 -0800 (PST), in sentex.lists.freebsd.hardware you wrote: > >I spent some time sifting through the mailing lists for information = about >SATA RAID cards, and how well they are supported by FBSD 4.9.
