The 3 ware controllers are excellent but a bit expensive. In the low cost area there is a something like a DC-100 (HPT372 Chipset) which I can recommend, since HighPoint offers drivers for FreeBSD (haven't tested 5.2.1, only 4.10). Never touch a sil0680, atarid support for thet controller (like for the HPT372) is completely broken in -current and never really worked before (you can use your disks but in case of a faulure you can't rebuild the array). The only cards which work flawlessly with the internal ataraid driver are the promise cars, I'd go for a FastTrak TX2 100 if mone plays the biggest role. This all applies to pATA, I've never tried any sATA! -Harry (the one who recently had very painful experiences with cheap RAID controller cards!)
