Not to disagree with you, but Adaptec put new drivers for 5.3 and 5.4 for their 2420, 2820, 2320SLP, 2130SLP, and 4800/4805SAS driver back in April 06 up on their website. Their support could be a lot better, but these are new cards and new FreeBSD drivers... There is no storage manager aaccli like there was earlier :-( (maybe a Linux one, assuming there is one, will work like the Linux aaccli program works on FreeBSD?) So there is a very low level of support from Adaptec... They should really give their drivers to the project as part of the source and support them as well... That is why I am using Areca now. They seem to support both FreeBSD and Solaris 10 much better than Adaptec. I haven't bought an Adaptec card in 2 years though because their stuff gave me a lot of problems and didn't perform that well...
