    This is a low-budget suggestion:

    I have good experiences with RocketRAID 1520 and 1640. I'm running a
    1640 with three SATA drives since one year without problems; it's just a
    little bit slow. Highpoint offers binary FreeBSD drivers for these
    controllers, but I think that people don't like this kind of support
    because Highpoint neglects it for older models and this dependency might
    be dangerous in future. Keep in mind: you'll get what you pay for.
