Where did you get your area controller Mike?
Looking at their site it seems as if one could buy directly from
them, but did not find any prices.
Hi,
I get them directly from Areca. I have bcc'd the Calvin
(the guy I have dealt with) so he can contact you. Like I said
before, they have been great cards for me under FreeBSD. Linux
performs well too, but is a bit of a pain as its not part of the
default kernel. But performance has been great and the extremely
stable. We are going to try some of the PCI-e versions next
month. My experience to date has been with the PCI-X versions only.
I finally got my 3ware 9500SX today and should have time to test next
week as I dont have a spare PCI-X board in the lab right now. Should
be able to get a decent comparison performance wise between the two
boards with respect to FreeBSD.
