AFAIK, the only native 'RAID-5' card (as opposed to SCSI-2-SCSI solutions)
that's support by FreeBSD is DPT... We have a DPT based system, and it's both
fast and reliable, so much so - if I was building any other system (e.g.
Windows NT etc.) - I'd probably also go for DPT :)

There was some talk a while ago about Mylex - but it seems to be a little out
the picture now (though may well be being worked on behind the scenes)...
