Hi everyone, a friend of mine and I are thinking a BSD (NetBSD or FreeBSD) system and would like to have RAID-1 hardware. Preferably, an affordable S-ATA RAID version. So far, we're wondering which controller would be a good choice. What we've come up with so far are the Adaptec 1210SA S-ATA RAID controller and a Promise S150 TX2Plus RAID which seem affordable. I have some experience with 3Ware's Escalade models, but they are rather expensive. Hence our search for alternatives. Checking the hardware support pages, I could not find these models (or indication of similar models/ranges) in the hardware notes. Is there anyone with experience with the Adaptec 1210 or Promise S150 cards or are they unsupported. If unsupported, is there anyone with advice of affordable alternative S-ATA RAID controllers? Thanks in advance, Rogier Krieger
