probably a bit cheaper solution - FSC L100

tested with 3.2 - no troubles

test with current - at the time of writing ;)

as the Promise PDC20265 is not likely to be supported as 
RAID controller I use the obsd RAIDframe

/* btw it looks that the RAIDframe bug is going to be fixed 
"Temporary fix for PR#3069 - Sun Jan 19 14:32:00 2003 UTC"

Description:

raidctl -u always causes a panic, and raidctl -R always causes a panic for
a non-autoconfigured RAID array. For an autoconfigured RAID array, raidctl
seems to cause a panic when run for the second time on the same component.  
Using raidctl -F to reconstruct onto a spare, however, seems to work. ...
