It seems to me that the only usable raid controller for FreeBSD is the DPT series, and thoose who are supported are totally
outdated.

As we are only using IBM Netfinity 5500 servers, and their serveRAID controller are not supported, as it is in Linux. However
fitting the servers with another controller is not a problem, and we would WERY much like to use FreeBSD because of the
reliability and performance.

So, is it totally impossible to get a fast hardware RAID controller (running RAID-5) for FreeBSD???

Do I really have to use an OS that I don't trust to run our services???

HELP!
