RAID Controller Recommendations: ARC-1210 or 9650SE-4LPML

Do not go for the adaptec 1210!
I have the same model, and it always give errors on /dev/ad6 

First I thought it was the drive itself but after swapping that one with  another one still /dev/ad6 errors.
Also swapping ad4 to ad6 /dev/ad6 errors out and freezes the system.

Long story short  it is an unstable product under FreeBSD Current and 6.x

I use a 3ware card now and no problems what so ever.
