Thanks for the replay.
Could you please supply me with the right card name that will work with 
FreeBSD and this StorageWorks array?
Maybe i can find something cheep to use this box?
And is there any software to manage the array box (in case i'll get 
QLogic card) or i'll have boot into windows to change 0+1 array type to 
something else?

Best regards,
