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.
