Hi all, Well, the plot thickens and I have another follow-up question after all... I relayed the information I gathered from you all, and the person in charge indicated that he couldn't get the 9500S-4 directly from their normal supplier. They are somewhat pressed for installing the machine very soon, so he asked me if I knew if the Adaptec 2410SA would also work well... The details of this adapter can be found at: http://www.adaptec.com/worldwide/product/proddetail.html?sess=no&language=English+US&prodkey=AAR-2410SA&cat=%2fTechnology%2fSerial+ATA%2fSerial+ATA+RAID+Controllers Surprise, surprise, once again FreeBSD is not mentioned on the list of supported OSes (do people even realise it exists? :( ). Has anyone tried this particular RAID controller, or a different Adaptec SATA one? I myself use Adaptec SCSI RAID controllers (the 2100S and the 2200S), and they are both supported in the generic kernel, but then, that's SCSI... Thanks again; if this adapter isn't any good with FreeBSD amd64 I'll tell them, and will urge them to do their best to find a 9500S (in fact: I'll already make sure to tell him that the list concensus is that the 9500S is preferrable). Cheers! Olafo
