Not sure which > models work with FreeBSD, but these card do perform very well. The twe(4) driver supports the 7000-series and 8000-series PATA RAID controllers from 3Ware/AMCC. We've used the 7500-series cards in several FreeBSD boxes without issues, in PCI-X and PCI slots. The twa(4) driver supports the 9000-series of SATA RAID controllers, including the 9500s, 9550s, and 9650s. We've used each of those cards, in discrete and multi-lane configurations, in PCI-X and PCIe slots. Work quite nicely. Especially if you have a hot-swappable backplane. We've been very pleased with the 3Ware cards, in both FreeBSD and Debian Linux. Especially their 3dm2 web-based management tool. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
