I have a Highpoint 4-port PCI-E 4x card in a server that has worked well for a few years. It's a bit pricey, but I've had no problems with it. Recently, I've gotten 3 Rosewill RC-218 cards because they're much cheaper and I don't need the RAID functionality on other cards. I'm building servers with them now, but FreeBSD recognizes the disks attached to them fine (so long as your on >= 8.2 and you add hw.hptrr.attach_generic=0 in /boot/loader.conf). I haven't tried hot-swapping any drives yet, but I'm assuming since it's SATA it should work fine. I should probably verify that soon. Rob On 5/21/11 9:26 PM, Jason C.
