I realize FreeBSD doesn't have any built in RAID(1-5) capabilities. (or did
they sneak that in lately and not tell me ?)

I'd like to add some fault tolerance to our FBSD network. Can anybody
recommend a good external unit ? I've heard you can get RAID units that
essentially make your disk array look like one SCSI device to the
controller.

Our SCSI controllers are Adaptec 2940-UW's
