Yes, I am using 3 servers with hardware raid: a)3ware 7500 with 4 ATA disks (1 spare) WD 160 GB in RAID 5, works great. b)Mylex AcceleRAID 160 with 3 SCSI 8 GB Quantum disks, RAID 5, works great. c)3ware 9600s with 4 SATA 150 disks (1 spare) WD 160 GB in RAID 5. Many=20 problems, occasional reboots, couldn't get any help from the lists. The 3ware 7500 board comes in severall flavours, you could try a two channe= l=20 model, though the only utility you have is tw_cli, it's console based, no= =20 alarms. It's also an ATA controller :( Hope this helps. 2005/5/2, Toll, Eric <etoll@vipstructures.com>: >=20 > I see the list littered with many unanswered RAID questions, is anyone=20 > using > hardware based RAID with FreeBSD 5.X?
