    Hi guys,

    Firstly, please go easy, i'm new to the list.

    I'm in the process of building / upgrading a server and have chosen
    FreeBSD to run it. One requirement is the ability to support RAID 1. I
    am looking at adding a Serial ATA PCI card but i'm unsure which is best.
    The motherboard itself doesn't support Serial ATA and I don't want to
    change it since it's a decent P4 motherboard and at the moment it's an
    unncessary expense.

    I've looked in the archives and seen the name 3ware comes as a
    recommendation. Does anyone know where I can get hold of one these in
    the UK. The ususal e-stores don't seem to stock them.

    Failing that, I've been looking at Adaptec and the 1210AS has taken my
    eye. Anyone have any experience of this card.

    The system is a P4 1.8Ghz system with 512MB RAM and 2 x 80GB drives
    running in RAID 1. The system will be co-lo'd so something reliable is
    required.

    Many thanks.

    Stuart
