Hello Matthew! You can read my experience with the TX4310 controller (same as TX2300 but with 4 ports and RAID5 support - TX4300 doesn't have RAID5): http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-May/003505.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-May/003506.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-May/003507.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-hardware/2006-May/003508.html I hope you will get it work with the 'atacontrol' command: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=atacontrol&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-RELEASE&format=html The problem for me with atacontrol was that after booting Windows my /dev/arX device always has been destroyed. My solution was: Buying a 3ware 8006-2LP 2-port SATA HARDWARE RAID Controller which has better performance than the TX4310 although it's SATA and not SATA-II and also very good Linux support.
