The Areca is higher in price as they only come in 4 ports and above. Go with the 3ware 8006 2 port. If you are looking for stability and reliability under FreeBSD, its the way to go. I have recovered from many failed disks with the 3ware under FreeBSD, Linux and Windows and it works and works well. ---Mike
