Hello, well, subj already says ;), however I'm planning to buy a good, supported and possibly not very expensive SATA RAID PCI controller for my FreeBSD server (an IBM x206). I'll install FreeBSD 6.0-R from scratch. Googling around I found the Highpoint RocketRAID 1640 PCI 32bit SATA RAID 0,1 (5 ?, 10 ? docs are not very clear) controller. I'm mainly interested in RAID 1 (mirror) with RAID 5 as a plus. Anyone already using it could please provide my feedback ? It's well supported ? (reading ata(4) and ataraid(4) seems yes but...) Works ok ? it's a RocketRAID V2 or V3 metadata (according to ataraid(4) only V2 is read-write supported) Any suggestions, recommendation, hints, etc. are very welcome ! :-) Many thanks in advance!! -- bye! Ale
