The price on these controllers is quite nice and > if they'll work well I'd like to start using them :) The single channel version works fine - it's just a NCR 53c875 card, which performs admirably under FreeBSD for me (I'm using it to type this message). I also have the single channel in a couple servers that pretty much max out 4 disk CCD arrays - haven't had a problem, and the performance seems on par with the Adaptec 2940. I haven't tried the dual-channel version of the FirePort, so I don't even know if it's supported..
