Well, I would say... postpond your RAID for a few weeks and gather the money to buy the disks. On a mission critical system, a RAID -5 is really worth in both stability, performance and fault tolerance.



Btw. What hardware raid controlers (sata) do you listmembers recommend ?



There are very few things which really dont work under FreeBSD. Just some work out of the box and some needs a little attention like a misbehaved kid. The fact is, the more bucks you throw in, the better facilities u get.



I have read some positive things about the 3ware 9xxx and 8xxx series (a
thread on -stable)



Yeh, they work almost out of the box without any requirement for tweaking.



Actually, my situation is not "mission-critcal", still in a way it is. I have decided to go for a RAID5 controler (3ware 9xxxx) and simple wait a few weeks until I have gatherd the funds :)

When you say "almost" out of the box what do you mean ?
I think I´m right when I say that there are drivers ready for the 3ware cards so I do not see why there are any proplems besides overstepping the learning curve.


Anyway I think you and the other listmembers again for there input.
