The 3 ware controllers are excellent but a bit expensive. In the low cost a=
rea=20
there is a something like a DC-100 (HPT372 Chipset) which I can recommend,=

since HighPoint offers drivers for FreeBSD (haven't tested 5.2.1, only 4.10=
).
Never touch a sil0680, atarid support for thet controller (like for the=20
HPT372) is completely broken in -current and never really worked before (yo=
u=20
can use your disks but in case of a faulure you can't rebuild the array).
The only cards which work flawlessly with the internal ataraid driver are t=
he=20
promise cars, I'd go for a FastTrak TX2 100 if mone plays the biggest role.
This all applies to pATA, I've never tried any sATA!

cards!)
