I have also good experiences with various 3ware cards. However, their RAID5 doesn't seem to be /that/ fast. I'm also using a Highpoint 1820A for some weeks now. It's cheaper, the Raid5 is faster and I've had no troubles so far (though others here obviously had). BTW: Are the ARECA cards different from the ones sold by TekRAM using an ARECA chip? cu Gerrit -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
