I am no expert but I have been looking at Abit KT7A-Raid boards for 
cheap storage sol;utions at work and from what I can tell they are 
hardware Raid the chipset is an HPT370 or some such name I don't have 
the info to hand sorry.  From what I can tell the chips are at least 
partially supported by Linux and the BSD team freeBSD gives some support 
but not open BSD (you figure it?) the info on IDE Raid seems pretty 
sketchy to me is this Geek SCSI snobbery?
