You may want to consider the LSI MegaRAID cards... There are various
ones. Do you need the low profile format? Look at the 320-1lp for
that otehrwise the 320-1 or 320-2x
They have freebsd drivers and a command line management app.
I am looking at this to replace an adaptec 2200s eventually (for
different reasons than the OP).
I have not used the SCSI LSI MegaRAID cards through I have some of
their SATA RAID cards.
