INITIO SCSI Host Bus Adapters, such as inia100u2w and ini9xxx U/UW support the FreeBSD 3.0.

It is important to pick a SCSI controller carefully. Many cheap ISA SCSI controllers are designed to drive CD-ROM's rather than anything else. Such low-end SCSI controllers are no better than IDE. See the SCSI HOWTO and look at performance figures before buying a SCSI card.

Please see the SCSI RAID controller section for information on SCSI controllers with hardware RAID support.
