It should be noted that the 7000-series cards require the 3dmd 
monitoring/management software.

Yes, the card is a hardware RAID card, but the 7000-series has no way of 
physically telling the user that something has failed.  Instead it sends out 
emails warning folks about a failure.

IIRC this software is not released for BSD.  Instead, BSD prints messages to 
dmesg when a failure as occured.  So I'm sure you could write a parser and 
stuff.

These cards are very much bang-for-your buck, and they are 3ware cards.  Just 
keep the above in mind.
