If you want to run RAID-5 then purchase the HiPoint card or the 3ware card, both of them come with manufacturer-written drivers. 3ware is really great, they have a developer with committ rights and they just stick their driver right into the FreeBSD source repository.
s/HiPoint/HighPoint/ a.k.a HighPoint Technologies, Inc. or simply HPT. I have two HighPoint controllers and like them both: FreeBSD 6.1/i386 + HPT2220 + 8x250GB. FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE/amd64 + HPT1820A + 8x300GB. Areca also supports FreeBSD: $ man arcmsr (FreeBSD 5.4+) http://www.areca.com.tw My next controller will probably be from Areca because they support RAID level 6 and have multi-lane connectors... maybe ARC-1130ML + 12x500GB. Does anyone know what SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) RAID controllers are supported by FreeBSD?, they can use SATA drives correct? -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
