I've got an 8005-2LP working dare I say "perfectly" with FBSD AMD64 5.4 Rel. I even am running the (newest beta) 3Ware 3DM2 web gui, and it will email me if the RAID set gets into trouble. I really like it. You need a *64* Bit PCI slot to fully utilize the cards speed. Harware XOR is nice. Of course with dual opteron 242's my CPU load has been very very low. :) I stated my system build with the 3Ware controller and purchased a Gigabyte MB (GA-7A8DW) as it was listed as tested/approved on 3Wares site. Also 3Ware recommended the WD RAID edition drives, I used the WD RAID ED SATA 250Gb 7200 8Mb Cache units (2), also use the cables that come from 3Ware as they are better than average.
