I have tried a few, my own one is an Apacer which works great, I have used 
some others, but they did not have brand names on them so I dont even know 
what they are. I am not certian, but there is a special windows driver which 
has existed since 98 to support these things, and every device developed I 
have seen just uses this generic windows driver, so I suspect it works the 
same way in FreeBSD (that most umass devices are identical in their driver 
requirements).  

When I purchased mine, I asked them if I could return it if it was not 
compatable with my OS and they said yes, so thats the best option I think, 
just by it from a shop which will let you return it.
