3ware cards have worked fantastically for me... until I tried using them
with the Tyan S5360-1U Motherboard. I've not been able to boot any
distro of FreeBSD 5.x or 6.x with this board and the 3ware 95x series or
8x series SATA cards.
However, other then that 1 board incompatibility, they've worked like a
champ for me for years.

After not having much success with the hptmv driver for highpoint's
rocketraid 1820A, I'm wondering if other folks have had good luck with
any
SATA RAID cards with at least 6 ports... Is there a SATA RAID card with
utilities that let you manage while the OS is running that folks have had
good luck with? I've been happy with the megaraid series on linux at my
job, but I'm wondering if the management utilities are there on freebsd,
etc.
The 3Ware cards work really well under FreeBSD. I have dozens I have
been using for some time and they work and work well. Highly
recommended. Over the years I am sure I have replaced a few dozen dead
drives and have not (knock on wood) had any issues rebuilding degraded
sets. Another card I have been recently using is the ARECA. Its quite a
fast card and has a similar set of management utilities. I have not been
using it as long as the 3ware, but it seems pretty good too.
Both cards will install out of the box FreeBSD. The management apps can
be downloaded for free from www.3ware.com and ftp.areca.com.tw
