Either you choose a vendor which offers FreeBSD support from their own =
(e.g. HighPoint) or which is obviously supported by FreeBSD (3Ware). The =
only "reliable" solution for everything else concerning ATA RAID is to =
use the logical volume manager Vinum, see also vinum(8).

If your hard disks don't even run as single drives and the controller =
chip is not listed in ata(4) and there is no hint in =
src/sys/dev/ata/ata-chipset.c then donate hardware to an ATA developer =
or ask manufacturers for hardware specifications.

Don't care too much about ATA RAID. If you don't find support at first =
go, it will make you crazy.
