IMHO it's the entire product line of ICP Vortex, now owned by Adaptec. These cards really rock. Battery backed up cache, RAID 1+0, driver maintained my company's engineers, yet in the stock FreeBSD kernel, curses based management utility to repair arrays without reboot, unattended rebuild if you exchange a broken disk with a brand new one, same interface to the host for _all_ products including SATA, ... Just works. Period. We use them for typo3.org, wetteronline.de uses them. I'm in no way affiliated with them, I just like the products. A lot ;-) HTH, Patrick M.
