    FYI, I placed an order for one of the PCI-X 4 port versions today. I should
    have it in 2 weeks or so and will summarize my FreeBSD experiences with it
    then.

    pricing is a little more than the 3ware cards which I am having problems
    sourcing these days :(

    ARC1110, PCI-X 4 ports $469
    ARC1120, PCI-X 8 ports $669
    ARC1210, PCI-Express 4 ports $519
    ARC1220, PCI-Express 8 ports $709

    Supposedly LSI's SATA 300-8X has roughly the same guts inside its card.
    Anyone have any experience with it under FreeBSD ?
