I haven't personally tried Raid 5, but all reviews I see point to fairly bad performance. If you want Raid 5 consider the new Adaptec IDE controller. From benchmarks posted at www.storagereview.com it seems the adaptec is better at Raid 5, but slightly slower in Raid 10. You should try to find out however if this controller is supported by FreeBSD yet. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
