    Looking around on the net and FreeBSD archives it looks like if you want
    cheap ATA Raid now go with either a Intel motherboard with ICH5 or
    Promise SATA TX2/TX4
    The performance of the Intel ICH5 looks very good with low CPU
    utilization (well from what benchmarks in running from MS windows suggest)
    I haven't found any clear documentation on what can and cant be used.
