Second post little response first go-around.

Help!!

I'm trying to pick the BEST RAID card for a FreeBSD server I'm building.
The system will be running two 36GB U160 drives in RAID 1 to start.  I have
looked at the common manufacturers such as Mylex, Adaptec, AMI and ICP
Vortex.  I have little knowledge about the differences between brands except
for what ever specs. and propaganda I could find.  Some real-life
experiences would be helpful.

I would like to know what controllers people are running and what kind of
success stories are out there.

Compatibility reliability and ease of managment are very important.

Regards,

	- Scott
