The only hardware RAID arrays supported by 3.3 are the DPT SmartRaid III and IV. They're old and slow; you're better off with Vinum (software RAID), as http://www.shub-internet.org/brad/FreeBSD/vinum.html indicates. We've just added support for the Mylex controllers in -CURRENT. Their performance is significantly higher, but we haven't any hard figures at the moment. Also, you shouldn't use this driver yet for production work.
