Highpoint offers only drivers up to 4.8 and 5.1 for a RR1520; it might be discontinued. The RR1640 is more comfortable because it attracts attention with a painful acoustic signal on hard disk failure. You can even reinitialise the controller or verify a disk array remote with a GUI from another machine. This is much for a controller of this price range. ;-) > I've done RAID setups in linux before (slackware) but never in FreeBSD > so i'm looking for recommendations.
