    I've been using the Promise IDE RAID cards for a while now in FreeBSD,
    they work flawlessly.

    I actually just put into production 2 boxes with the Tyan Tiger 200T dual
    PIII boards, and they had the Promise RAID built onboard. 4.8-RELEASE
    installed right up on the boxes, picked up the raid card right from the
    beginning, and the boxes have been motoring along quite happily for about
    6 months now, no glitches.

    Also, I know where I usd to work, they'r running a news server off of the
    3Ware 12-port IDE card, running RAID5, and they've been very happy with
    it. I don't remember offhand whether they're running 4.x or 5.x, but I
    think it was 4.x. They've been very happy with the performance and the
    stability of the card so far.

    So, from my experiences, both 3Ware and Promise, have been rock solid, and
    work wonderfully with FreeBSD.
