I have the LSI MegaRaid SATA-4 150 (or some such name) in a FBSD box and another in a Solaris 10 box (which I hacked to make it work since the amr driver would support it on Solaris but the various config files Solaris uses to recognize cards wouldn't recognize it). Real HW raid. I am not using Raid 5 though. It does support it I just have no experience with it. Monarch Computer (monarchcomputer.com) recently sold me 1 for about $230 . Sounds like it fits the bill. Chad --- Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC Your Web App and Email hosting provider chad at shire.net
