Hi there,

i just sold my Promsie FastTrak S150 SX4 due to missing Raid 5 support of ataraid. I really wanted to get it running with FreeBSD 5.2 CURRENT, but the wait was too long :(
I thank Soeren Schmidt for his work and patience.

Now I know want to buy a 3Ware 9500S-4LP.

My desired configuration will be a Dual-Athlon on a Asus A7M266-D with 4x 120gb, 7200 rpm, 8mb cache (western digital).

 - Does anybody use such a controller and in what configuration?
 - How stable is the current twa?
 - Do the CLI and 3DM Tools work?

Thanks!

Patrick
