    Hello,

    I've been googling for some time and I can't seem to find out whether the ata
    subsystem of FreeBSD supports the RAID5 feature of the Promise boards.

    Two boards seem interesting : (by Promise) FastTrak S150 SX4-M and
    FastTrak SX4100 (I haven't exactly seen the differences, though)

    from the ATA mkIII update commit log, it seems that the RAID support for
    Promises is fairly good, but even after a glimpse at the ata-raid src in
    cvsweb, I'm not sure of anything.

    Has any one a hint on a cost-effective, FreeBSD-supported RAID-5 SATA disk
    controller ?
