I don't know much at all about zero channel RAID, but I assume it requires a separate SCSI controller, which seems to me like it would make it tougher to troubleshoot, and possibly affect performance/overhead. As David pointed out, I was mistaken that the Adaptec 2200S didn't have a FBSD driver; the aac apparently works. Thanks for all the reponses.
