    Hi Steve,

     I am using the 3Ware 9500S-12 on our servers and like it very much. It's very
    easy to setup, very fast and also directly supported by the default Kernel. You
    just go into the BIOS on the card with Alt+3 when you boot, lay out the raid
    however you want, then install FreeBSD as you normally would. The OS pretty
    much sees it as a single volume, although something like fsck can also access
    the individual drives in single user mode. It's a real nice setup and never had
    any problems.

    Ray
