Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG As the DPT SmartRAID IV controllers are now obsolete, what's the best bet for hardware RAID under FreeBSD? From a bit of reading the AMI controllers seem to be well featured and regarded. Just how good is the support for these controllers in 4.0R? I'm trying to hold off using 4.x on any servers until I've used 4.0R for a while to become familiar with it and more specifically until 4.1R is released. Am I being paranoid or will the AMI controllers and 4.0S be just fine as a server? Cheers.
