Will > FreeBSD work.? Yes. The controller is definitely supported. I'm not entirely sure about RAID functions but they are most probably supported too. If you have looked at supported hardware for 5.3 you would find a link to ata(4) manual page, which lists the controller as supported. It has been supported for long time but only recently (for 5.2) it got into manual pages and even more recently it's reflected in the release documentation (for 5.3). Michal
