We have used some of the Infortrend controllers but haven't really beat on them yet with FreeBSD (we have two, one with Linux the other with FreeBSD). Both have been extremely reliable (but then again, both are intranet machines). I suspect Infortrend is not in the same league as Mylex, CMD, etc. in terms of performance as it's powered by an AMD 586-133 at the top end but it's a great bargain at about $1200 per controller. Note that Infortrend controllers are also fairly unique in that all channels can be either drive or host channels. There are also a number of OEM's out there that repackage Infortrend controllers as their own. I prefer SCSI<->SCSI as well especially when the manufacturer doesn't directly support the controller for the OS.
