I chose Promise because all of their products I've ever bought have worked 
for me in disk management. It was a roll of the dice as to it would work or 
not. Plus, it was the only card the vendor had that I have used for years.

Thus, no guarantee for all, but they have worked on sever different 
motherboards so far and all are running fbsd-6.x (mostly 6.2).

The ones I bought were $72 each and handle 2 satas 150/300.

That's the best I can do to help in your case.

HTH....
