    Hello,

    well, subj already says ;), however I'm planning to buy a good,
    supported and possibly not very expensive SATA RAID PCI controller for
    my FreeBSD server (an IBM x206). I'll install FreeBSD 6.0-R from
    scratch.

    Googling around I found the Highpoint RocketRAID 1640 PCI 32bit SATA
    RAID 0,1 (5 ?, 10 ? docs are not very clear) controller.
    I'm mainly interested in RAID 1 (mirror) with RAID 5 as a plus.

    Anyone already using it could please provide my feedback ? It's well
    supported ? (reading ata(4) and ataraid(4) seems yes but...)

    Works ok ? it's a RocketRAID V2 or V3 metadata (according to ataraid(4)
    only V2 is read-write supported)

    Any suggestions, recommendation, hints, etc. are very welcome ! :-)

    Many thanks in advance!! 

    -- 
bye!
Ale
