: A friend just asked me if we support the PERC 3 cards shipped in

: in the same price performance category that is supported?

Alfred-

The PERC 3 cards use the aac driver which was only very recently
MFC'd (it should work with a recent snapshot).  The card should 
work and you can download from Dell a Linux command line tool to 
do some work with the controller (you do need to build a custom
kernel to use this that does not have aac statically defined and
load the kld out of /boot/loader.conf (aac_load="YES") to get the
linux ioctl support (it will not compile statically .. well, I 
could not get it to compile statically :).

HTH,
