Most consumer motherboards will work.

However, with regards to "RAID 1 configuration", what are you planning
on using for RAID 1?  A RAID controller, or something like gmirror(8)
which is software/OS-based RAID in FreeBSD?  (Most people will strongly
recommend using software/OS-based RAID, for a lot of good reasons.)
