We have had very good luck with them. However we use SCSI disk instead of SATA so I don't know how well SATA works with FreeBSD 6.x. Our setup is 2 - dual core CPUs, 4 gig of ram, a pair of Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers. The OS disk is a pair of 72 gig SCSI mirrored and the other 6 bays have some configuration of SCSI disk in RAID 10. We use FreeBSD 6.2-RC2 because these motherboards use the Intel network chips and there was a problem with the em device. The patch to fix this got committed sometime in late October.=20 Josef --=20 Josef Grosch | Another day closer to a | FreeBSD 6.1 jgrosch@MooseRiver.com | Micro$oft free world | Berkeley, Ca. --ZGiS0Q5IWpPtfppv Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFqWIpy8prLS1GYSERAqTuAJ0RsFhDeh4fdlo2hNHvoVO4ewEDLwCgxwZE VFnXnJB6euEwYAiVIIis7jA= =2dnQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZGiS0Q5IWpPtfppv--
