The Areca is higher in price as they only come in 4 ports and
above. Go with the 3ware 8006 2 port. If you are looking for
stability and reliability under FreeBSD, its the way to go. I have
recovered from many failed disks with the 3ware under FreeBSD, Linux
and Windows and it works and works well.
