We have a number deployed in RAID0,1 and RAID 10. The only issue to watch out for is the 3dmd needs to be patched to work with POST 4.8R. Also there was mention that there might be some updated work http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=47571+0+archive/2003/freebsd-hardware/20030525.freebsd-hardware Not sure if thats on the 3dmd or on the drivers. ---Mike >-Adaptec has a cheap raid card, the 1200A. No mention of it in the >hardware notes. Is it possibly supported by the asr driver? I think the ar driver supports it.
