A few weeks ago I got Dell PowerEdge 310 server and it appears FreeBSD
supports its hardware well.  I don't run it in RAID mode, so I can't tell
anything about that.

I installed it from USB flash device.

I am happy so far.  It is an old hardware and I got it for $290 which was
my price range for home use.  It is a bit noisy, so I run it in hardware
power management mode.  Not sure if I shall try FreeBSD power management.
