    The 3 ware controllers are excellent but a bit expensive. In the low cost area
    there is a something like a DC-100 (HPT372 Chipset) which I can recommend,
    since HighPoint offers drivers for FreeBSD (haven't tested 5.2.1, only 4.10).
    Never touch a sil0680, atarid support for thet controller (like for the
    HPT372) is completely broken in -current and never really worked before (you
    can use your disks but in case of a faulure you can't rebuild the array).
    The only cards which work flawlessly with the internal ataraid driver are the
    promise cars, I'd go for a FastTrak TX2 100 if mone plays the biggest role.
    This all applies to pATA, I've never tried any sATA!
