There seems to be support for DPT-based cards in the kernel, I was just wondering what the "best" RAID controller for use under FreeBSD would be. My price range for the card is under $2,000. I'll be using 6 x 9 gig SCSI 3 UW disks. Preferably I'd like to have a hardware-based RAID, but the cheapest controller I have found for that is about $4000. If anyone knows of a cheaper (but still good) card, please let me know. Any comments are greatly appreciated. -Mitch "When all your plans fail, backup, re-group and press on.
